Australia, Melbourne, Annand Smith & Co. 1d token, 1851/2, Heaton mint issue.

 

And that last one makes me think of these two Tasmanian 1 penny tokens I have. I don't set out to collect tokens like this but I guess I like a lot of them. Do you think that emu and kangaroo are about to fight or what?

 

Mughal Gold 1/2 Fanam of Farrukhsiyar (minted in Karpa sometime between 1713 and 1719):

 

There were two issues of trade tokens for Annand Smith & Co. The first was manufactured by the Soho Mint, Birmingham in 1849. This was SOHO's last product produced as the mint's machinery was being broken down for sale. Heaton & Sons purchased much of the equipment at the sale of the Soho mint and their first issue was of trade tokens for Annand Smith & Co. in 1851 (with H & S added).

 

Mongolia, 1925, 50 mongo, KM#7, Numista# 18975.

 

The emu (or cassowary?) and kangaroo theme is also on the Australian 50c piece. I wouldn't want to tangle with either one.

 

Muscat and Oman, 1898, 26mm, 5.07g ,Numista# 28241.

 

Here's some fun from Africa. Interestingly enough, I didn't realize I had the Mombasa rupee and I've been looking for one at coin shops and shows. I wonder when I got it?

 

Very nice! A German East Africa silver is on my wishlist.

 

Gotta love the helmet!

 

Maritius, 1897, 9.5g, 28.35mm, Numista# 15953.



Morocco, 1947, 10.2g, 30mm, Numista# 2332

 

J. Pinches designed a medal for the 1854 Crystal Palace Sydenham exhibition (BHM 2549) that continued to be used as a prize medal for later exhibitions throughout the 19th century. This is an example in silver (63mm) awarded in 1893.

 

Bhutan, 1950, ½ rupee, 1.000.000 mintage, Struck in 1967-8.
Numista# 9170.

 

Wonder why the date and actual striking are so far apart.

 

A scarcer German issuer.
Marsberg, 1608, 1/24 thaler, KM#5
A lovely coin in hand with nice luster and a faint iridescence. Nice strike apart from one small area of weakness.

 

I found it really tough to find either issue with "FAMILY GROCERS" properly struck up.
