1927 Brazil 1000 Reis


1941 Argentina 10 Centimos


And something a bit different LOL

1878
Universal Exhibition (World fair) Paris Lady's head representing Universal Suffrage


Hope they are of use to you

 

thanks De Orc, they are, that's one thing I noticed, alot of the south american coins feature wreaths

 

That is very true, not sure why possibly they simply liked the design LOL

 

Wreaths around votive numerals are a common Roman type of the 4th century AD. This sample is a silver siliqua of Constantius II with a high number so it was issued in the last years of his reign (died 361 AD).

 

Wreaths were a common motif on Roman coins. Here are a Sestertius of Claudius, and a Dupondius of Galba.

The U.S mint also made use of the motif. Here shown in a U.S Cent of 1795 and 1831.

 

A letter 'A" - Austria.
5 korona 1900, silver. Franz-Joseph I the Emperor.

 

A letter "B" - Belgium.
1 & 2 franks, silver. Leopold II.

 

A letter "C" - Canada.
One cent 1910, bronze. Edward VII.

 

A letter "D" - Denmark.
2 kroner 1888, silver. Christian IX.

 

All the posts so far have one thing in common - the wreath is shown centered on the round coin. Here is a Roman denarius of Caesar Augustus with a wreath as more than a small decoration held by a figure or worn as a crown (both common on ancients) but not filling the entire design. The wreath is shown next to a pile of consular robes honoring Augustus' preparation to assume that office but it might be the only coin showing a pile of laundry.

Who else has a wreath not centered on the field.

 

A letter "E" - Estonia.
2 krooni 1930 & 1932, silver.

 

How strange! money laundering eh

I'm writing a thesis on the money of micronational entities in comparison to real countries...the thing with the wreath is it seems to me that the countries who use is are trying to associate themselves with the values of victory and strength that the romans gave and triumph the greeks gave to the symbol.

 

A letter "F" - France.
12 deniers 1793, bronze. Louis XVI.
One decime l' An 5 (1796-1797), bronze.
