Bavarian Bishopric of Passau 1764 1/4 Thaler NGC AU55

 

I've seen that coin before! Lovely issue.

 

I'm always on the look out for any Bishopric coinage. My great grandmother was from Bavaria so I had to get this commemorative 1/4 Thaler.

 

I have picked up a couple of GB Threepences today. The 1729 is not scarce but an upgrade for me. The 1839 is much scarcer as in that year (and several others in the early 19th century) they were issued for Colonial use only.

 

German States 1615 Saxony Johann Georg & August Thaler.

 

1655 Spanish 8 Reals salvaged from the Jupiter Shipwreck.

 

I really like that border of all the shields!

 

Thanks Joshua, It does add a little flair to the coin.

 

1/6 taler from Munster - sede vacante issue

 

Madras Presidency Gold Mohur (minted in Madras in 1819):

 

China, Zhejiang (Chekiang) Province, 10 cash, no date (1903-1906). I really like the Chinese Imperial dragon on the reverse:

 

Kingdom of Portugal Gold 20000 Reis of Joao V (minted in Vila Rica, Minas Gerais, Brazil in 1727):

 

1757 Brandenburg-Bayreuth

 

Struggling to get any GB coins I need at prices I can afford, so I stepped into the dark side and picked up these two non-British Crowns over the weekend.
Germany - Anhalt 3 Mark 1914 and
Greece 5 Drachma 1876.

 

Sure it doesn't come near as close to most of the stuff in this thread, but bought this nice Y2K commemorative toonie from a friend.

 

Yadavas of Tribhuvanagiri Gold 1/2 Dinar of Kumara Pala (minted sometime in the 1190s)

 

i used to own a silver gilded version of this. Canada produces some really nice coins, especially bullion pieces.

 

Sultanate of Gujarat Gold 1/5 Tanka of Qutb al-Din Bahadur Shah (minted in either 1535 or 1536):
