With Greenland in the news lately it seems like a good time to show some coins from the island. I probably have more coins from here than most people because I love polar bears and most of their coins have polar bears on them. I also love rather obscure places to collect coins from, so it checks a few boxes. I don't think Greenland has any currently circulating coins. Here are the ones I have. The first six here are mining tokens.
Wow, I didn't know about those 1922 mine tokens before. I wish they would've used that design for the actual coins.
I just added a Greenland coin to my giveaway prize list, if anybody wants a chance at it in the current giveaway or one of the future ones. Here is the giveaway coin. The obverse photo is out of focus. Sorry. Here is the one from my collection.
I no longer have this one. I picked it up in a jar full of foreign junk at a local auction and sold it for a substantial amount in 2018. I believe this was the first ever issue of coins for Greenland:
