Cool coins! I don't have any from either of those two places, and I don't think I've even seen any in person.

Really like the Battle of Hastings 1066 comemeratives. Supposedly it is due to that battle that my last name exists, although it's not 100% proven and convoluted even if it is!

 

Nice coins. It's interesting to have a collection of GB coins and to have similar designs from so many other places in the world.

Nice ones!! I especially like the Vickies!

Here's a couple more:

 

yeah these are cool thanks for posting haven a couple somewhere

 

I remember at my local coin shop a few years back, they had several rolls of these 1660 - 1960 1/12. All uncirculated.... I only bought a few for .25 cents US each. I wish I had bought one of the rolls...or more. Pretty coins, I especially like the Victorian ones. I havent any yet, maybe one of these days.

Siberian man, 1/13 of a shilling... that's an interesting denomination.

 

1/24 of a shilling 1926, bronze, mintage - 120000. George V.

 

Remember, this is Jersey not JOIZY.

 

I love coins from Jersey , They always have low mintage and are quite affordable even to the poorest of collectors. " I fall in this group "

 

My name is Gerry and I just found this website, because I wanted to check out a coin that really didn’t (and doesn’t) make sense to me.

It is a “one twelfth of a penny” Island of Jersey coin that says “Liberated 1945” and the reverse side has Queen Elizabeth II head.

Can anyone help with this, as I find the coin with George VI head but no QEII.
Thanks

 

Here's a bit of info on it, it was made in 1954.
