There's something about that miner

I actually have a few I don't need, contact me if you are interested.

 

New Zealand Coin, The Tuatara lizard. Check this out found in my coins. I can get 10 coins for one dollar. Cheryl

 

yeah, brit coins often have great reverses...shame they can only have one thing on the obverse. I have seen about enough of british obverses...talk about boring.

 

You have to admit he is cute setting there with the birds.

 

I really like the coins with fish or animals !!! Thats what got the wife started, animal and wildlife coins.

Sort of. Guess it made sense to show, on war money, what the "actual" money/metal was used for ...

Coins for coins sake

For sure, it was the wild array of beautiful and interesting coins my son and I pulled out of a scrap bin at a local flea market that hooked us both on collecting.

 

Combining most of above themes, this is one of my favorite reverses. My daughter was so happy when I picked one of these out of the world coin bin for her. Makes me want to go sit on a beach and do nothing else today.

 

I think I like all Bahamas coin...mainly after 1974...

I got got this one from DeOrc, it has since become one of my favorite coins:

 

Normally, I'm not one for animals on coins. But this is just a superb design.

 

Here two coins that are nice for very different reasons IMO.



I like this one because it has that quintessential 20's art nouveau maybe poster art feel to it. Probably was a very cutting edge modern art look for the time.



I like this one because its just plain humble, very rustic...

Both are pretty cheap

 

Drusus,
I love the 1921 2 Mark coin. What country is that from?

Notgeld from Thale, a town in the Harz mountains, in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt. Thale is famous for its "Hexentanzplatz", ie. place where the witches dance. But I don't know whether the cat was, in this case, meant to be the attribute of a witch.

Anybody have one of these bad boys?

 

Thanks for the info- Just went and looked up "notgeld" coins on wikipedia and learned something new. Yet another type of coin I'd like to collect.
