I'm skeptical of this coin being what it is labeled...

 

Lovely Bikanir quarter anna - very nice condition.

 

thank you I have many Alwar and Bikanir rupees in AU and XF but this was the first copper I had seen.

 

Here’s my latest Karl Goetz medal — “Revolution in Bavaria.” It’s his sarcastic take on the short-lived Bavarian Republic during the German Revolution in 1918-19. It was intended to be a socialist state known as the Munich Soviet Republic.

REVOLUTION IN BAVARIA
(Kurt Eisner, Umsturz in Bayern)

1918, Cast bronze, Satirical medal, 58.0mm, 63.0g, Frankenhuis 1487.

Obverse: Caricature of Bavarian social-democrat Kurt Eisner, mounted on the Bavarian Lion wearing a Liberty Cap. In border, "Und Minister President bin ich, Curt Eisner•I•" (And prime-minister am I, Curt Eisner •I•). In exergue, "8•Nov•1918".

Reverse: Death, lifting two doors from their hinges; one is decorated with the Bavarian Coat of Arms and marked wiith date 1180, which suggests the regentship of Wittelsbacher since 1180; the other door is dated 1808 and inscribed, "Verfassung" (Constitution). In his right hand he holds a balance scale with a pipe on one side and a crown on the other. On the ground lies the shattered king's crown and orb. Inscription, "Umsturz • in • Bayern" (Revolution in Bavaria). K G at the base of the two pillars.

 

I like it. Can you share some information about it.

1466-1477 France Duchy of Burgundy Charles - The Bold - Jeton de Compte





1650-1688 Belgium Liege 1 Liard Maximilian Henry of Bavaria

 

Sure. Its a 1945 India Rajkot Mohur. Ruler Dharmendra Singhji. There were also much later restrikes with different dies that can be identified by the sun above the water line and a round trident ring (instead of oval). The below picture if from Numista showing the example as i cannot draw very well.

 

Montenegro, 1 Perper, 1912, Nikola I, Ag 0.835

My first coin from the Kingdom of Montenegro, though I have some later ones after it merged with Serbia.

 

Korea, 1 Chon, Gwang Mu Year 10=1906
I already had one of this date/type, but this one was a slight upgrade, so I picked it up. I'm amazed how similar these are to the Japanese 1 sen of 1873-1888 (below)

 

ND (1907) China 10 cash

 

1839 Saxe-Meiningen 1/2 Gulden

 

couple of pick ups yesterday. The 1806 Penny is a slight upgrade for me - the "without incuse curl" variety.
The other coin confused me for a while - it is actually a British coin weight made to check the Portuguese gold Escudos of that era, with the equivalent value in British shillings given. I'd love to get a gold escudo for 36 shillings now!

Casimir or Kashmir? Port of Spain, Trinidad...I went ashore there once, had a few beers, it was a good time. Here is a new arrival, India - Kutch, Bhuj mint, AR 5 kori, VS1979/1922AD nice big silver coin.

 

Submitted 15 Sinkiang, Tibetan, and Mongolian coins to PCGS. Grades arrived yesterday, and 13 straight graded, with many top pops and awesome grades! Wanted to share a stream to this thread.

Here is the first coin, an AH 1296 (first year of issue) Aksu "Guang" Tanga, in the 5 Fen denomination. It is a hammered coin.

Graded PCGS VF 35.

 

Received this week from Family in Canada. Lot of surface marks from the flip but it has an acetone appointment in it's future

 

Reminds me of this one.
