Really wish I lived close to WFOM! So many great things to see/buy/do there.



Picked this up two weeks ago. Ungraded but I'm assuming it should be 65 or higher when it grades.

1908 Philippines Peso, PR67 PCGS

Indo-Scythian Silver Tetradrachm of Azes (minted in Taxila sometime between 55 and 35 BCE):

 

2024 Slovakia 5 euro with bison.

 

I don't think anyone has posted one of these. This is the coin that was being given away at ANA show a couple weeks ago. They made you stand in line twice to get one. At least the line was short both times.

 

Roman Billon Antoninianus of Probus (minted in Siscia in 279):

 

Sultanate of Bengal Silver Tanka of Nasir Al-Din Nusrat Shah (minted in Muhammadabad in 1529):

 

This just in - GB Milled sixpence from 1562 - an upgrade for me.
Interesting history around these: GB didn't finally go over to milled coinage for another hundred years. This foray into early milling was brought about by a Frenchman - Eloy Mestrelle - employed at the Royal Mint for a short while. It did not end well with him eventually imprisoned in the Tower and executed. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eloy_Mestrelle for more detail.

 

A very nice mid grade circulated example with wonderful surfaces. Very nice buy.

 

Bengal Presidency Silver Rupee (minted the name of Shah Alam II in Muhammadabad Banaras in 1749):

 

Here are some new ones I received from the Dutch Mint, though none of them are actually Dutch. I have three Slovakian 5 euros with different animals, a 2023 Portuguese 7.5 euro and 2024 French 1/4 euro Olympics coin.
