I believe the regimental stamp is an add on to an original fliegerbluse that's had insignia reapplied. As a regiment, the HG never had the appellation of "Fallschirmjäger" as part of it's official title - that only came later, when it was increased to divisional size. As always, I would be happy to be proven wrong. Apropos of nothig at all, this is the second "Fallschirmjäger" HG stamp on a tunic I have seen in the past 18 months - the other has been floating around various gun and militaria auction sites without success for quite some time.
Also, and this is just me being paranoid, but if those coins were in the tunic's pockets, it screams "salting the mine" to me, and I would run like hell.
