Here one I must pickup overseas/South America? But when is a question I ask myself.It was in a roll of mixed Wheat cent.
Belgie 1928 50c

 

Belgium 50 Centimes KM# 88. Mintage 10,000,000. Check the 8 closely, there is a 1928/3 variety.. Looks like something going on with yours. The Belique KM#87 counterpart has a mintage of 3,000,000

 

Thank You!!!!! Now that you pointed out date there is something going on with 8 in date will post on different thread once I get some closeups of date. Again thank You!!!

 

2010 Turkey, 1 lira, cat bi-metallic coin I bought for my girlfriend Jenny off Ebay right now. we enjoy our 4 real cats/pets.

 

Here the better photos but not a new thread. I think this is from a Belgium/Belgie area they once ruled or helped in South America??maybe ?? As it's note in my books I keep for my finds maily so my son has something to know.
*/* but your right the date has something going on.

 

Congo, Rwanda and Burundi were former colonies of Belgium. Never heard of any relationship with countries in South America.

 

Great information must been one got at my old coin shop.how and whenever unless it one picked up in Egypt while training national guard troops .

 

I don't normally collect foreign coins but this one caught my eye.

I really like the blue toning.

 

Here some modern coins that were engraved great. but most would call them bullion but mintages are low that could change?

 

awesome jello! Is that Russian?

 

That is one awesome coin!

 

Belarus is what Coin World noted but I think your in the right area.

 

And Belarus is also what the coin says. Nice design, and yes, an "NCLT" piece. After all, Belarus does not have any circulation coins ...

I did not know that they have no circulating coinage from Belarus. I wonder why?

 

Guess that is mostly due to the high inflation rate in the country. Also, there were (more or less vague) plan to do away with the Belarus ruble and introduce the Russian ruble instead, so maybe the government decided that coins would not make much sense.

Coins are more expensive to make than paper money, but have a longer average lifetime. Except that "lifetime" is not that relevant if you need to introduce new denominations every couple of years anyway ...

Here is a group of 7 Vatican coins from the 1930s I got today. I'd never seen these before.

 

these look cool. I have always liked the keys on the coins.

 

Nice Vatican pickup all in a very nice grade + some key date in the 1930's often not easy to find in such a Nice grade. Hiddendragon!
