    Unknown Adolf Hitler Coin / Medal? No markings

    Hey guys! I stumbled across this coin, or medal, that has Adolf Hitler on one side, and the Swastika on the other. It's magnetic which makes me assume it's either composed of Iron or Steel. It's the size of a quarter, and weighs about 12.8 grams.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Welcome among us...it's good to have you here!

    I'm sorry to say that, IMO, the coin you show is not from the TR era. "Grossdeutschland" or the Greater German Empire was not a German phrase during the NSDAP period until 1938 and the Austrian Anschluss was accomplished.

      Ahh. I see. So it's some sort of commemorative coin? Gotcha. Thanks for the welcome! It's great to hear.

      I'll try and get some more photos out soon.

      Thanks!

        All the pitting tends to indicate it's a cast piece which implies that's it is not a coin but most likely a fantasy item.

          Looks like a casting made in somebody's garage and most certainly not a pre-45 item.
          Comparisons to other TR commemorative coins and plaques will show what for top notch quality was expected of a manufacturer, such a piece would never pass quality control.
          For example, this Deutsch ist die Saar, they should look like a properly struck coin.

            Makes sense. I was a little skeptical.

            Thanks!

              Right, right. I get what you're saying. It certainly doesn't meet the same quality as ones I've seen.

              Thanks!
