To mark 100 years since the beginning of World War 1, let's show off our little world war 1 treasures.  It was such an interesting period for coins, it shouldn't be hard to find some nice things to show off.

I'll get the ball rolling with a couple of my Iron offerings

1916 20 heller from Austria



and 1918 5 Ore from Denmark

Hi,

Hello,
 here's a couple I've picked out


I'm gonna get in on this, but I've got to wait until tomorrow.  I just recently started to focus more on WWI - Between Wars - WWII coins.  I'll have to see what I've got.

Hello,

as I already removed the dust from my camera for the "How far can we go" topic, here is my chosen coin to represent end of the WWI. What better than a German zinc, KRIEGSNOTGELD?




At hand looks much more better, and for those of you who don't want to search the catalog :) here it is:

 Interesting and bizarre that they could not write anything, thanks for sharing.
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

Looking for pre 1783 coins
Those postcards at least show that they were still alive after a fierce campaign like Verdun.  Possibly many families would worry about their sons and husbands on the front after severe disasters hit the newspapers and this was a time when there was no active telephone lines; telegram extensively used by military purposes, leaving behind regular post only for the footsoldiers and that to be censored.
 Yes you are right thespis26 from what I remember, that my grandpa told me. They were used at the front, while in the field, or if wounded. So the family knew they were alive. Never found out why Americans were using English field cards though.
