1833 1/4 Anna
I just got to USA from Australia

 

Very nice jello, I can't remember if I have that one I know I have one.. Definitely not the 1/2 Anna it may be the pie ill have to check now ! Ha
Anyway a couple of new ones expecting another great coin in the next couple of days.
I guess they aren't so colonial but more commonwealth but hey if old bikes and jags count well I am putting em on anyway ! Not that I think anyone will be bothered. We have a limited audience and I've noticed there's a few of us who are constant posters.. So we can appreciate em anyway !

Double dollar with the Toronto dollar being silver. I wanted the Toronto but it was the same price for the set and I'm glad I went this way !
It came brand new in the packaging totally un-opened its just what I thought 1984 Canada would have smelt like !

1885 3 Pence.

 

This is also very annoying..

 

Here is one of mine from Roman England. Emperor Constantine II 323-324 AD. Reverse has PLON at the bottom indicating the mint in London (Londinium)

 

Ripely that's great ! I want a roman coin from England.. I really want a Hadrian one since his wall is only a few miles from me.
I would like one with Britannia on too but that's a long shot I think.

 

Best of luck Mark.

 

Heres a sample of 1905 indian rupee ....wish these designs still continued

ah yes.. The Edward VII rupee.. I need one of these now because I have em all from GVI-VIC Queen just this and EIC issues to get then the baharatpur VIC rupee. Already have alwar and bikanir

 

The Edwardian coins were minted from 1903-1910...the 1907 had two mints producing them in Bombay and Calcutta .Here is another sample from Calcutta Mint ( 1907)

 

Since you mention it - an example of the Alwar Rupee:

 

Nice coin the 'Alwar rupee"..it had lower mintage than the bikaneri Rupee...
Here are some more coins from the Edwardian era ....( 1910 C, 1905 C )
