Year 6 (1873) Japan 5 Sen

 

A few more Portuguese India AE came recently

 

Switzerland.
2 rappen 1890.

 

Russian Federation.
10 roubles 2020. "75th Anniversary of the Great Victory in WW II".

 

Was advised some one here may know what this 1790 is? also a couple of Austrians I just saw

 

I will add this coin on my list for "coins with stars"

 

Well the first is a Warwickshire halfpenny token dating to 1790 and featuring the bust of Shakespeare on the obverse and a female seated with mining equipment on the reverse. There are a number of variations depending on the edge lettering, but I doubt you can read much of that in this case.
They are not particularly scarce and in that condition not much monetary value, but interesting history.

 

wow thanks Paddy B allot of knowledge in here thanks again

 

Siberian man here's my 1872 helvita

 

Those are some nice examples. From what I understand many of these were rubbed with leather aprons at the mint. You can often see those wipe marks and I think your examples here are much nicer than your run of the mill pieces. I would love just perfect matte pieces but it seems that most were messed with. The shilling stands out as especially nice.

 

I also love Irish coins being just got dual citizenship. Got 3 or 4 in the 70's when we took grandmother back. Last year went back to Easkey and look for and at in shops in Sligo but didn't find anything special.

 

Puerto Rico - 1896 P·G·V 10 Centavos

Finally got one. I have been looking for once that is nice and affordable.
