World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

Do you happen to have a 1926 10 Qindar Leku? That's my favorite.

Used to have a couple of them. Sold off all the minors back in 2017 to concentrate on subsidiary or larger silver, and gold non-prova issues. The 10 Qindar is a great design, as are nearly everything Giuseppe Romagnoli ever designed. The coin below was bought raw out of a dealer junk box for $1 around 1995.

 

I assume the R might mark is for Rome? Italy produced some great coins the first half of the 20th century.

 

I always thought of the design as a close up view of the eagle on the 1856-1858 flying eagle cents.

 

I like Bahamian coins. This is a flashy little proof specimen, with a mintage of just 2,084 coins.
