Did these coins circulate only in the Ruhr and Rhein areas? 

What is the meaning of the phrase Deutsches Volk Opfer? I believe it translates into The German Peoples' Sacrifice. Does that refer to the heavy financial burden of the Versailles Treaty?

Please include links to the item pages when you discuss something listed on Numista.

In this case: N#132341

 

That page lists the token as a non-circulating coin. If correct that means it didn't circulate in Ruhr and Rhein or in other places.

I guess it is not a (non-circulating)coin at all, but more a kind of medal and the ‘denomination’ is not the face-value
 but the kind of money the Germans sacrified after the 1st world-war. Just my idea.

...you can run,  but you can't hide...

The Spendenmedaillen Deutsches Volksopfer Ruhr & Rhein (Donation Medals of the German People’s Relief for the Ruhr and Rhine) were issued in 1923 to support the Deutsches Volksopfer (German People’s Relief). The Deutsches Volksopfer was a fundraising campaign during the Weimar Republic to raise money to support people in the Ruhr region and along the Rhine, who were affected by the aftermath of World War I and inflation.  The collected donations were used for various purposes, such as housing children from the Rhine and Ruhr regions and the medals served as a way to thank and commemorate the donors.
