Added an interesting Austrian 1938 token to my collection
It is made by the Austrian Mint. I have this date in Bronze and Silver but
this is the first custom design I have for this date. I have seen several others however. http://austriancoins.com/tmp/38wurst.jpg It is a Wurstfabrik token :-) That is a sausage factory. I love it. ;-) It says Wien XII and Franz Artaker I assume it means 12th anniversary of the Franz Artaker Vienna sausage factory. Not Vienna sausages but sausages made in Vienna. Don't have it in hand yet but when I do, it looks like a nice candidate for a soak in acetone. Dale |

Sausage factory is right :-) but I think that "Wien XII" refers to the municipal district (Bezirk) of Vienna where is factory was located. The "XII. Bezirk" is Meidling in SW Vienna ... Christian |

Christian Thanks! I wondered momentarily if it was a District. Seems obvious now :-) Dale |
