Four Templer Tokens – Complete Set
Four Templer tokens, made of brass, in denominations of 5, 10, 20 and 40 Para. Complete set of the first series (without the legend Consummarke):
Obverse: the denomination. Reverse: a plow and wheel (symbolizing the agricultural settlement) and the German legend Centralcasse des Tempels.

5 Para: 16 mm. 10 Para: 18 mm. 20 Para: 20 mm. 40 Para: 23 mm. VF-XF.
