A coins from exotic islands.

I read the interesting thread devoted to coins of exotic islands. And I've got an idea to post a part of my collection of such coins in this thread. I'll be glad if you'll share your coins too!

Kingdom of Tonga.

Solomon Islands.

Niue.

That is all.

 

Maybe Niue could have that JFK commem made again. This time as a 50th anniversary piece. Some of the others I like, such as Tuvalu's octopus. And the New Hebrides coin has an interesting font; I think it is used on other pieces from there as well.

I always liked this design on a recent Solomon Islands coin:



Solomon Islands 5 Cents 2005 - Ngorieru
Obverse: Queen Elizabeth II
Reverse: Ngorieru, chief of the island sea spirits
These sea spirits were sometimes depicted as having human heads and
fishlike bodies with gills

Because the figure on the reverse looked like this one from some time ago:



Rome Denarius Trajan - Parthico Mars
Struck: AD 116-117, Rome mint
Commemorates the Roman conquest of Parthia (now Iraq)

 

From 1 of Danish Islands.But A bit Older than I

 

Nice coin, but we have various Sea-Lands around here. Yours is not from there but from there.

Thank you!!!!!!
I do forget @ times with world coins

 

Wow. This is about 1/2 as much as the '95-W 5-pc 10th anniversary set with the $1SE and the 4 AGE coins. Yet that set retails about $10K if you can find one.
