Papp knives are seriously and well made, intended to be used. I checked Google translate, it is just a step beyond old Chinese manuals 🤣

Thank you! I guess all that's left now is to pull the trigger ...
 
Not the best photos (I need to figure out what to do with the lighting), but here are a couple of Portuguese 500 reis, 1 Portuguese India Rupee and a couple of Brazilian 1000 reis. They all have pretty much the same dimensions. The fruit knife is made of coin silver as well.

Dreigroschen Opera.....Unfortunately this 1937 3d (thruppence) carries the effigy of Geo VI . A number of coins were struck with his brother's effigy Edward VIII who was king Jan-Dec 1936, abdicating. Alegedly some got out into circulation before being destroyed, others were mint sets for the ever rapacious House of Windsor (Saxe-Coburg...).Some brass Edward VIII 1937 3d had this design others slightly different one was sold for 45k GBP I believe, hardly Dreigroschen..but a soap opera of the day :cool:
