Vadim writes: This is a German pilgrims token that was used in Palestine before the time of the state of Israel. These tokens, were used in cities to add more small change due to a lack of small coinage in that time. The coins were used all around Palestine in the major cities were the pilgrims sat which means: Haifa, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and more places.
Bob writes: I confirm it is from Jerusalem.
Listed in the Menzel catalog of 1993 (Germany). It states that this was a sect which immigrated to Jerusalem in 1870 and issued the tokens there. Consum(verein) is German for co-op. Marke is the word for token.
