    German coin!!!

    Can anyone tell me about this German coin, is it worth more than the later war ones, what Church is on it, and on the side it is engraved "Gemeinnutz geht vor Eigennutz" I think this means "for commen us only" do you have a better translation? Thanks ALLOT!!!

        "Nutz" is like "Use" or Usage. If something is useful its "nutzbar". Gemein, is like Collective, a Gemeinschaft is like a Community. Eigen is like something like the self, Eigentum is like one's own personal property. The translation could be "Collective use before Individual use". I've heard the National Socialists were big on the importance of the group or the Volk over the individual, so that translation would be in keeping with that credo, Cheers, CB.

          Sentiment is closer to:
