PALESTINE: 5 para token (1.05g), ND (ca. 1880-1917), Menzel-28152/2 (2018), Haffner-CC-13C, 16mm nickel-lead token for the Templar Centralcasse in Sarona, probably struck at the Royal Wurttemberg Mint, plow within beaded circle with CENTRALCASSE DES TEMPELS around // large central "5" with CONSUMMARKE around, plain edge, slight oxidation, Unc. The Templars were German Protestants led by Christoff Hoffman and broke away from their church. In 1868, they started emigrating to Palestine. They had their own schools, church, trade, and industry. The "Centralcasse", to address a need for small change, issued tokens which circulated from about 1880-1917. The tokens circulated in Jaffa, Haifa, and Jerusalem. They were recalled after World War I and sold to metal dealers to be melted.

Estimate: 70-100 USD
