The Yugoslavian Coin exceeded my expectations; it's a terrific coin to look at in

 

nows there's a lion i would like to have in my collection. where is it from ? Italy ??? guessing

 

Good Guess friend. The coin was minted in Rome but its Albanian
If you like lions here's another coin that should be of interest. It's Albanian as well

 

Uruguay:

This large 90% silver coin is a one year-type issued in 1969. It has an interesting, deeply struck design that's both modern and ancient, drawing from pre-Columbian indigenous imagery.

The letters “FAO” are an acronym for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

The Latin words “FIAT PANIS” are a motto of the FAO, which translates to “Let there be bread”.

This coin also has edge-lettering, "REPUBLICA ORIENTAL DEL URUGUAY" (Oriental Republic of Uruguay).





Also some new pics of an older pick-up, trying to catch more of it's color/tone:

 

MY two newest foreign coins were both found in a 3 for a dollar bin at a flea mat. A 1940 Switzerland 2 franc and a 1900 Venezuela 2 Bolivare. The Venezuela coin has a high catalog value for some reason, and both are silver.

Here are my newest 5. Netherlands, 1971 2 1/2 gulden. France, 1870 5 francs. Bavaria, 1908 5 mark. Austria, 1870 20 kreuzer and Bolivia, 1887 20 centavo. I now have 160 foreign silver coins, and around 270 non silver foreign, and over 1,000 foreign banknotes. 2 years ago when I started it had no idea I would accumulate so many.

 

yup it is a mouse rug.

 

Ah, I was just curious because I have a very similar one.

Had some beers with a Aussie friend last night, he bought the beer and I got a box of pennies for free. Win win right?

KM# 42 Australia 1/2 Penny 1951PL. Struck at the Birmingham Mint (PL)


KM# 56 Australia Penny 1960p. Minted in Perth (dot after PENNY)

 

Those Bolivia 20 centavos can get pricey on key dates. Nice!

 

Nice coin presentation Krispy.
