Herforder Spezialbiere Appraisal

Herforder Spezialbiere Beer Coaster

This is a circular beer coaster made of absorbent paper or cardboard. It is tan in color and features dark blue printing on the front. The central design includes a shield or crest at the top with text below, and a large number '4' to the left. The text appears to be in German and identifies "Herforder Spezialbiere" with individual beer types listed below: "Herforder Pils", "Gold-Bock", "Edel-Export", and "Malzbier". The edges are slightly raised, indicating it is made from pressed pulp. The visible condition appears to be good, with no obvious tears, creases, or moisture stains present. The printing is clear and legible. There are no discernible manufacturer's marks or timestamps on the visible side. Based on the style of the design and the typeface used, it likely dates from the mid to late 20th century. The quality is consistent with standard production coasters for advertising purposes.
