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.

Yes, wonderful collection! It's been an inspiration for my own. Love the James I gold, the shipwreck coins, Napoleonic medal...all of them, really. Well done! That SSC shilling obverse looks like it was triple struck.
Thanks. Except when the bullion value of the bigger modern gold like that 1.3 oz AGW 1965 Peruvian 100-soles hit record highs, that James I gold Laurel was the most valuable coin in my World inventory. It’s certainly the one I paid the most for, since I bought the bigger gold moderns when bullion prices were at about half of their more recent peak level. There’s big gold, and then there’s… Early Seventeenth Century big gold. That’s like a whole ‘nother level.
Thanks for sharing your collection. I do not collect world coins but thoroughly enjoyed looking at these.
As always enjoy the eye candy that you share. This time it was the Gothic florin that stood out for me. I’ve had one of those on my bucket list for a while and doubt that I will find one as nice as yours. Also that Austrian 10 euro coin has one of the best modern designs I’ve ever seen. Like a city view Thaler on steroids.
I'm honored to see 3 ex-ddddd pieces here. I'm a fan of the Panama and US Philippines designs, so those are among my favorites. I also like the bear on the Greenland coin. The rest are pretty nice too. @KSorbo makes a good point as the Austria 10 Euro does have some characteristics of the old city views plus the Cathedral medals (where it looks like you can step into the place) and it is done very well on a modern coin.
