Nice coins and the scans turned out ok too. The brass 20 heller 1916 coins were minted at Tabora and were made from metal salvaged from the SMS Konigsberg! Very interesting history there. The 20 hellers were issued in brass and copper with atleast 4 different major die varieties. There is also a 5 heller in brass with 2 varieties plus a spectacular 15 rupees gold coin in 2 varieties. After Tabora fell the Germans printed a ton of paper notes while in the bush. The whole East African WWI story is the stuff of legend.
