Anyone know what this coin/medal is?

[Class316]

Was this actually released in 1945? Seems odd that they would be able to release that. Or is it a post 1945 coin somebody made?

These were coins were made in China, as an commemorative set of coins for WW2.

I came across these coins awhile back, and had the link in my fav's..

Here is link for you ;

COMMEMORATIVE COIN IS NO PLACE FOR HITLER'S FACE, ANGRY SCHOLARS SAY | Deseret News

This doesn't look like what coins mentioned in the article.

From the article:

The Hitler coin, which has a picture of the Nuremberg war crimes court on the reverse side, was black and was designed like an ancient coin, the newspaper said.

So it's not the same coin.

Off topic but it's amazing how the so called "scholars" are enraged that Hitler is on a coin and say he has "no place" in the set yet they say nothing about Stalin!

Wonder why they didn't include any Japanese leader.

Also I found this: Adolf Hitler Sterling Commemorative Coin

Doesn't sound true though.

I stand corrected, thank you.

To put it bluntly, it is a load of rubbish! Such an object if made in Germany would get the maker jail time.

I was thinking the same thing, as these coins have the Swastika on the back of them, and that is a banned symbol.

Don't see how anyone can be fooled. It says 1945 and it's not currency.

I wonder if it's silver though.
