Russia 1763 This one is double struck and you can see portions of the overstrike.

 

I've read about those, @Chris B, but I've never seen one. Nice!

Still in Russia but almost two hundred years later with this USSR ruble dated 1961.

 

Another of those cart wheels, 1780 Russia 5 kopek, 52 grams of big copper.

1780 Zeeland duit (Netherlands)

 

I am in no way being persnickety, @Muzyck - what on that there coins says 1780, or it's equivalent. Please educate me. Just so you know, I'm not a total lazy bum; I looked for a 1780 under India, Kingdom of Assam, in Numista. I could not make heads or tails. Then the laziness rolled in like a tsunami. Why spin my wheels this evening when I can ask Muzyck? So here we are.

I'll follow coin_nut's Zeeland/Netherlands with this lovely 10 gulden, 1875. Lovely, yes? I rather like it. I feel like I'm nearly in panzerman's league when I can pull something like that out.

 

Netherlands, 2 1/2 gulden 1874

 

Numista is useless when doing any research on Assam. I just went to that site to check on an item this morning on Ebay that is not dated. Very little info there. Check Zeno or KM for more. Zeno covers 1648-1824. I had it tagged as KM207 issued in the first regnal year of Gaurinatha Simha (1780-1795 AD). There is a "1" below the legend that is partially missing. At least that is how I identified at the time of purchase. It was also tagged with that id from a trusted seller that I buy from located in Vancouver, Canada.

 

Thanks, Muzyck! I need to remember to hit Zeno.ru when I'm researching; I believe coin_nut has touted them a number of times here or elsewhere. There! Sticky on monitor - "Zeno.ru."

When you say KM, you're talking the catalog - the hard copy phone book sized catalog? Or somewhere online?

 

Yes, The Standard Catalog Of World Coins. I have 5 volumes from 1601 -2018 in .PDF form.

 

I want one. Please tell more.

 

Mai pen rai, I found it online.

 

On with the show! With 1874, I take us to Denmark with this two-ore - Charles? Chuck? Carl? . . . . the ninth.
