    Nine Down Three To Go
    Back in the 1960’s I started collecting German coins and stumbled across my first German East Africa 20 heller coins. Even though they were crude they had an irresistible history and mystery about them. The Yeoman brown book barely mentioned them and the German books listings were very confusing. Eventually I realized that there were twelve varieties of the 1916 twenty heller coins. The coins came in both Brass and Copper. Obverses had large or small crowns. The reverses had one of three lettering variations; two Ornamented L’s in the word Heller, a broken L and plain L’s. I then thought it would be fun to try and assemble a set of these types. Well fifty years later I just picked up my ninth variety; a Brass, small crown with the broken L reverse. That still leaves three to go and from what I see the last three are going to be expensive if I can even find them in acceptable condition.
