Large areas of the Rhineland including major cities were occupied by Allied forces after WWI as part of the terms of the Versailles Treaty. The German citizens of these areas celebrated the evacuation of these occupation forces when parameters of the treaty had been satisfied and often tinnies and commemorative coins were issued to celebrate. Cologne was vacated by British troops in early 1926; the Rhineland was vacated in 1930.I can see much value except as a curiosity, unless one would collect items of this occupation period. Perhaps $25 or so.
