Kiau Chau. German Occupation nickel-plated brass 10 Pfennig Token ND (c. early 20th Century) AU Details (Cleaned) NGC, Menzel-2951.4. Another Token of Kiau Chau from the historically fascinating German occupation, which ended in 1914 after besiegement by joint Japanese and British forces, where it remained under Japanese control until 1922 and then retaken in 1938. While some of the plating has worn away, likely from instances of circulation, plenty is still retained in the recesses, marred only by faint wisps.
