The previous topic got noisy with irrelevancies. May we begin again and stay on topic with "Numismatics and Vexillology"? From Civitas Galleries. (mine do not scan up well) These are known from the provincial mints as well in 10, 20, and 100. The two flags are the 18-Stars Flag and the Five Colors Flag. The first represents the 17 provinces and the national government. The five colors were assigned for the five peoples ("races") of China: Han, Manchu, Tibetan, Mongols, and Hui. Above are my two "Flag of Our Union" tokens. In the original thread PickinAndGrinnin posted a great example, Unc apparently. In all cases, the reverse legend "IF ANYBODY ATTEMPTS TO TEAR IT DOWN / SHOOT HIM ** ON THE SPOT **" is the rarer variety (R3). The error "... ON THE SPOOT" is the more common. Of the Allied Occupation Currency, I believe that only France's national flag is on the back of those notes.
I missed your earlier fun with flags thread. Allow me to post a flag coin here. 1969 2 Rial Ajman is located in the Persian Gulf. Ajman has an area of about 100 square miles and was the smallest emirates in the United Arab Emirates. In 1969 about 20,000 of these coins were minted for this sovereign country. In December of 1971 Ajman became one of the 6 original members of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Well, these aren't coins, but here are my silver and bronze ANA medals for the 1978 convention in Houston, TX.
Thanks, CPM! They are not coins coins, but they are highly numismatic! Here are two "coins" that are not true coins, but do display flags.
Thanks, Collect! You can read the thread that was shut down here https://www.cointalk.com/threads/fun-with-flags.334231/#post-3388391 and there you will find a very eye-worthy Dix Token from PickinAndGrinnin
I got this in change today. American Memorial Park honors the American and Marianas people who gave their lives during the Marianas Campaign of World War II. 5,204 names are inscribed on a memorial which was dedicated during the 50th Anniversary of the Invasion of Saipan. -- https://www.nps.gov/amme/index.htm The Memorial Court of Honor and Flag Circle was dedicated on June 15, 1994, the 50th Anniversary of the American landings on Saipan. The American Flag is proudly displayed at the center of the Flag Circle and is surrounded by the flags of the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Army and U.S. Coast Guard, the armed services divisions that participated in the campaign. -- https://www.nps.gov/amme/learn/historyculture/honoring-their-sacrifice.htm
Guessing a Roman Vexillum meets the criteria: Crispus. Caesar, AD 316-326. Billon centenionalis. Siscia mint, 1st officina. Struck AD 320. Obv: IVL CRISPVS NOB CAES - Laureate and cuirassed bust left holding spear in right, shield on left shoulder Rev: VIRTVS EXERCIT - Two captives flanking base of Vexillum inscribed VOT X; S-F over HL(ligatured) across fields. ASIS* in exergue 20mm, 2.82 g; XF, full perfect centering on both obverse and reverse RIC VII Siscia 123 VOT X abbreviates Votis Decennalibus, which means Crispus has completed vows (prayers and sacrifices) for ten years of rule. Despite issuing coins, Crispus never ruled. Flavius Julius Crispus Crispus was the first son of Constantine the Great, with his first wife Minervina, and was executed by him after his second wife Fausta falsely accused Crispus of trying to seduce her. Constantine, learning of Fausta's treachery, had her executed too.
