One new purchase I missed:

1893 (1311) Iran 5 Rials

 

That's 1932, not 1893. Iran had switched to a solar calendar by the time your coin was minted. It's also a 1311/0 overdate, which is pretty common on this series.

 

Excellent. Thanks. I'm just now venturing more heavily into Arabic script coinage, so I need some time to adapt.

 

New German States coin.

 

Lots of bargains to be found at coin shops for coins in non-Western script. They can't read it and usually won't take the time to figure it out.

 

Few new auction wins.

British India, 1910 (c), 1/12 Anna, PCGS MS64BN

Luxembourg - 1 Sol cast brass Coin Siege Coinage, 1795-I

 

i been wanting this coin forever. visited one of my lcs today and almost bought some France pieces. suddenly this appeared and i instantly put everything back and took this home.

 

Are those lions sticking their tongues out? Great crown coin.

 

My latest. Seller's pictures. A beautiful little coin for my collection.

 

Yes - one of my favourite designs. I nearly bought one in Cyprus about 15 years ago but baulked at the price. Then it niggled at me and eventually I had to buy one in the UK for considerably more! Here is mine:

 

Some random purchases at a show last week





Already had a nicer example but the price was right and I have a shadow box of holed coins

 

Baroda - 4 Annas, 1894

 

I just purchased this piece:


1678 Netherlands - West Friesland 6 Stuivers

as an accompanying piece to go along with another new purchase. This 2023 issue from the Royal Dutch Mint

 

Another new addition is this 2022 Silver Rider Ducaton


That pairs well with my 1775 dated Silver Rider

 

This one arrived for me in the week - an upgrade for my 1746 halfpenny:

 

Been shopping! I picked up these from an auction today - nothing startling but the 1799 Farthing is a decent grade:

 

This one I am posting separately as I believe it is something special. Australia 1967 Fantasy or Pattern One dollar in sterling silver and featuring a swan. Only 1500 "circulation" coins struck and, I believe, much sought after by Australian collectors. I believe this one to be genuine - I saw the old tin it arrived at the auction in, straight from a house clearance along with a Victorian Crown and a few silver threepences.
