    Due to our problematic past and severe restrictions to show items with Nazi symbols on it, I haven't got much information.

    It is a so called "Opferpfennig", probably around 1933.

    People that donated to the NSDAP got the amount they spent back in those "Opferpfenninge".
    They sometimes appear as a 30 or 50 "Opferpfennige" piece, 1 Mark pieces of those are rare and made of white metal.

    I've never seen such a piece like like the one depicted. I suppose it to be a 5 Opferpfennig piece due to the 5 Swastikas shown on it.

    It's hard to tell the worth of such pieces, on ebay they (the 30 and 50 Opf.pieces) sell for 20 - 50 Euro, in cataloges the common ones usually start around 70 Euro.
    As I've already mentioned, I've never seen one like this before and it's condition seems to be not that bad image so it could be worth a certain amount. image

    Well, it could be worth something if it's original.

    Here are two auctions which recently ended on ebay Austria:

    30 Opferpfennige

    50 Opferpfennige
