This is the category of my collection for all World Coins, tokens, and medals that date from the year 1601 to the present. One exception to this is the United States coins, which have their own thread. SEE MY OTHER COLLECTIONS HERE. Coins below are displayed in chronological order. Photos are not shown to scale.

World coins, waaaayyyy out of my wheelhouse. But I have been more and more interested in old world coins and picked up my first Wildman coin from our coin brother Randy earlier this year. Your Wildman in this thread is a dandy!
@lordmarcovan you have quite the variety. I see at least 1 item remaining that came from me, which I am happy about.
From the current set, my top 3 favorites are the Hogmouth 3 kreuzer, the Chilean Peso and the Happy New Year's medal. Of course, all the others are nice too!
The British 6 Pence is my favorite. The obverse looks to be triple struck. Need to get a Hungarian "Hog Mouth" 15 Kreuzer from the KB mint. Nice ones are relatively inexpensive, <$200.
Wonderful selection. Love all the gold coins. I hope you're doing well on their value given the current bullion gold market price. Are you in the 'black' on some/any/most of the gold coins?
