| Additional information |
Mamonovo — known as Heiligenbeil under German administration until 1946 — sits on the Kaliningrad exclave's southwestern edge, a region that changed hands entirely after World War II and remains politically isolated from mainland Russia. The Kaliningrad Coin and Token Mint has produced a series of these local trade tokens styled as "Thalers," referencing the historic German monetary unit as a nod to the territory's pre-Soviet past. Whether that framing is nostalgia or provocation depends entirely on who you ask.
