I have no idea what that was.... It could well be an altered coin as Insider2 suggested, no such thing as die codes as far as I know.... certainly can see 'number' outlines on that reverse...could not have had a reverse anvil so striking could not happen in a normal manner... unless it was a set up planchet without a reverse die...I have not heard of that, but seems plausible....

It's German: "Die Koden" as used in an Enigma coding machine. The earliest versions in the 1890s could only decode Schnitzel mit Kartoffelsalat, but later versions were much better. All the decryption codes were written on the back of US Indian cents - this was to fool the French spies.
