One Century of change:
Let's follow that 1884 Australian gold with this "golden-colored" 1984 Australia Dollar.

 

Australia 1944S florin

 

1954 Australia Florin

I've always liked the beautiful simplicity of the British Lion & Australian kangaroo on this coin. I would guess that they are both looking to the future or something.

 

One of my favorite designs.

 

Thanks for bringing in Australia.
Their coins are elegant.
I have at the time being only 3 coins. All commemorative. I posted one of them already in another thread (prince Charles and Diana wedding commemorative. My family loves this coin a lot. They find it one of the most beautiful coins I have so far
Another commemorative is the world war coming home coin 2005.

So next is Australia or 2005

 

Can't remember if I posted this already or not. But lets go with my profile coin. 1961 Proof Penny.

So 1961 or Australia

 

USA 1961 proof half dollar (DDR)

1974 or US next

 

As for 1974, I found a 10 piasters commemorative coin of 6 october 1973 war. The coin was struck in 1974 with an Egyptian soldier theme.

next 1974 or Egypt.
Well since there is already another thread for coins from egypt i created recently, may be 1974 will play fine, to avoid duplication of posts in a short time...

 

Okay, 1974/Showa 49 10 yen. Pocket change

 

Let's continue with 1974.

USA 1974

Conservation Series
King Birendra Bir Bikram
NEPAL

 

@panzerman very nice coin. The rhino theme is beautiful. What AV stands and conservative series imply?)))

 

Hello Panzerman- Do you mind is I give you a complement? I am very envious of your collection and especially of your collecting focus & talent. I sometimes wonder what my collection would look like today like if I continuously focused on beautiful gold coins & high grade ancient coins like you have. When I began collecting coins seriously, gold was selling for about $32 per ounce. We all have unique collecting interests. It would be a boring hobby if we were all collected the same coins eh?

1974 France 10 Francs (I count zero contact marks on this coin in hand)

 

France, 1950



The designer of the obverse is by Andre Lavrillier, one of the preeminent Art Deco medallists and designer of a couple of my all time favorites.

 

France, 1938



I do like the design as well!

 

Iraq 1938 50 Fils
