And how would you rate this one? As for the Suebi Gold Tremissis, it is too expensive for me, but hopefully I will eventually manage to find a Suebi Gold coin whose price is acceptable to me.
all three coins have accurate grades. I have one coin from this famous Pope. Photo of Pope/ older wife/ new girlfriend. Pisa AV Doppia I am bidding on Varesi
Henry VIII Posthumous coinage halfpenny of London with a G for D in LONDON. Not recorded anywhere to my knowledge and the only one I have seen.
This coin from my Country is heavenly..... AV 22 Dukaten HRE Josef II Why can't Germany design beautifull coins today?????? Let me guess/ incompetent mint masters/ staff.
That is a symptom, the actual problem is that Germany is an occupied country with a decadent/decaying society and formally run by outright traitors and imbeciles, and they aren't going to commission the minting of beautiful gold coinage that might inspire patriotism in actual Germans.
That seems to be changing as Right wing German Freedom Partei has won recent elections. Angela Merkel once banned a book that was about Red Army atrocities towards German civilians in Silesia! She also admired Putin. Many Germans/ Croatians living here admire veterans who fought valiantly vs Stalin's Reds in WW2. At militaria shows/ auctions ONLY Third Reich stuff sells at high prices/ no one collects material from the so called winning side.
While they have achieved good results in Saxony and Thuringia, they still aren't in power in any German state, and are nowhere near coming to power at the federal level, so I think that you will have to wait a very long time for Germany to start minting quality gold coins with Germany's national heroes and symbols on them...
The situation in Croatia is the same, look at what kind of trash the Croatian Mint wastes Gold on nowadays: https://www.ma-shops.com/ladobla/item.php?id=2496
I hate "colored" coins! The Canadian Mint makes them too! The only nice Croatian AV coins were made in 1941/ to prove my point/ the 41 exs are in high demand/ while that one on MA-shops is not.
Yes, and too make things even worse, the island on the coin is known in Croatia for inbreeding! The greatest and oldest Croatian Gold coin is this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces267065.html But since that is the only known surviving example and there is no indication that the owner (who lives somewhere in Croatia) is willing to sell it, and if he was, the price would most likely be way more than I would be willing to pay, then yes, if somebody wants a nice Croatian Gold coin, one of the ones minted in 1941 are realistically their only option...
