I have a 1 Pfennig that has no date on it. Has a hole in the center with the letters RWKH on the back. The only reference I have found to this coin is the words, Rheinisch – Westfälische Kalkwerke Hönnetal. When I look this up I find only references to rocks, lime, and companies that mine. No idea what it is. Made of Zinc and looks to be from the Notgeld era. I know a picture would be handy right now but I haven't gotten around to imaging it. I bought a big lot of world coins the other day and I am still going through them all.

Rheinisch – Westfälische Kalkwerke was a mining company that used forced/slave labor during the Nazi era. One of their camps was called Hagen.

This is the only example I could find, RWK/OH 10 Pfennig.

Looks almost like that except a 1 pfennig with a hole in the center... I guess this was coinage issued by the mining company for the slaves???

Now I'm not so sure this is going to be Notgeld.... it appears that it may be private money issued by this slave camp to pay it's workers....
