Countries with few coins

This is an awesome thread. What a great idea.

All these countries that I knew little or nothing about.

Prince Edward Island.
There was only one legal coin as I know.

 

Siberia.
Our coins weren't numerous. They were released during the reign of Catherine II the Great (1762-1796). It was the only period when Siberian coins were produced.
There were 6 types of coins: polushka (1/4 kopek), denga (1/2 kopek), 1, 2, 5 and 10 kopeks. I have polushka, denga, 1 and 2 kopeks.

 

Good ones, Siberian Man. I have some of all of those except Siberia but I didn't think of them.

 

Lots of interesting obscure coins here, but those Siberian coins top the list. Very cool!

 

Holy moly! Those must take up an entire room . . . or a warehouse even.

 

It's not so bad. I keep them in 2x2s in plastic pages in albums. I have about 35 albums at the bottom of a closet. That's why it's hard to get to them easily.

 

I do hope you have kids, nephews or nieces who are interested in collecting...

 

I have 6 albums, many loose coins, probably around 10 slabbed coins. I need to get better organized. It is close to being good, but needs fine tweeking.

 

Now I want some of these...

 

My son is 7 1/2 months old so it's a little early to tell at this point. I hope he's interested when he gets older though.

 

I was just thinking....'now there goes my want list increasing again.'

 

Here are some more that I have. The first is from Antwerp and is a siege coin. It's heavily worn but very interesting. Second is Gibraltar, which is also heavily worn unfortunately. Third is the British West Indies. Last is German East Africa. I'm not sure how many coins they have offhand, but I don't see them often. I wish I had one from German New Guinea.

 

Took me a while to get a German New Guinea at a good price.

 

Kiao Chau only had two coins. 5 & 10 Cent. Here is a 10 cent.

 

I think this counts - a Malacca Keping:

 

Tannu Tuva only has seven coins listed. Here is a 10 Kopejek.

 

Muzyck, you have some really good ones there.

 

Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
Self-proclaimed but independent (in fact) country in Transcaucasia.

 

Independent State of Croatia.
