L. Chr. Lauer Mint (Münzprägeanstalt L. Chr. Lauer), Nuremberg, Germany (1790-1924)Comments
Very small "coins” with the portrait of William IV, Victoria, and Edward VII were made by private mints, most of them in Germany. These miniature "coins" are much smaller than the corresponding denomination then in circulation. Most are worth a nominal sum.
Variations of obverses are shown by Latin letters. Reverses are shown by Roman Numerals.
