Display Of German Coins Includes Fascinating Designs
Three fascinating coins with German printing on one side and Chinese on the other are typical examples of an interesting coin collection now displayed on the third floor of Fraser hall.
By LORENA BARLOW
The display, sponsored by the department of German, is composed entirely of a collection belonging to Harold Ford, Jr., College freshman. He began his collection in 1946 and now has more than 3,000 pieces, including 800 United States fare media. Ford spent three years gathering his German coins.
The present display includes many coins issued by the various German states before 1871. One of these, a Prussian piece of 1845, has an intricate coat of arms imprinted on it.
After 1871 the coins were issued by the Empire. Double portraits of Friedrich Wilhelm II and Wilhelm II, one superimposed upon the other,
are on a one thaler piece dated 1910. It commemorates the 100th anniversary of the founding of the University of Berlin.
Following World War I Germany suffered an acute shortage of coins. Many cities and provinces were authorized to issue "Notgeld," emergency money.
Two emergency coins issued in the Province of Westfalia are identical except for the denomination—one is 10,000 marks and the other is 50,000 marks. At the time of issue each coin had the purchasing power of five pre-war marks.
