Post your most beautiful coin with 'eye appeal' of World Coins

That same Marianne by JC Chaplain was used on large medals for the 1900 Olympic Games, and can be had for a fair bit less. You'll see a lot more detail in it. Both are beautiful pieces.

I've always liked this piece...

 

This piece is graded NGC MS-67. The luster just drips off the coin. I've always been a fan of these coins.

 

That's one amazing coin as well as nicely imaged.

 

There are lots of great images of Marianne.

 

That is some coin! I assume the Roman numeral VI stands for the sixth year of King Charles I's reign, when Parliament was closed (1629-40) and the Puritans were just settling a town that became Boston, Massachusetts[-Bay]. Quite the historical piece for America and England.

 

The VI stands for "sixpence"...

 

Here are two coins I got yesterday that I really like.

 

Is this a coin or a medal?

 

That one is a medal. I think French department of interior .

 

I like the reverse of the bottom one.

 

Me too. I saw that and had to get it.

 

Thank you.

 

Have a few, 13 to be exact.

 

Anyone have any knowledge on this coin? Have found ones like it but can't find this exact one.

 

what's the date and country of this coin ?

 

That is the prob. I am not 100% sure. The ones that I found like it are Transylvania 1590's. But I have yet to find on that has the SHIELD between his feet.

 

Great gold, KC

 

This is one of my favorite coins in my collection. The photos don't do the toning justice. A lot of the early Soviet pieces got put through the wringer, so it's always nice to find an original one.
