Some of these years I only have one coin to show, if any.

This coin saw a hard days

 

Wow! FIFTY-FIVE pages in this thread and you haven't gotten any farther back than 1878? That's modern World to be sure. To put it in perspective, my paternal Grandfather, whom I knew quite well (he lived well into the 1970's - which was well into my young adulthood) was born in 1881 - your oldest coins on display so far almost fall within living memory.
Assuming this thread had progressed at least that far, I looked-in to see what you had for 1791 as I have a favorite Naples & Sicily crown dated 1791. Being that I'm primarily in ancient coins, a couple decades before the turn of the 19th century seems very modern.
I'll check back in a few weeks to see how far this has gotten - I may be able to help a bit with the earlier 19th, and 18th centuries at which point I possibly have specimens dated each year (although I don't organize them that way - it might take some hunting) and I can probably help out with getting back to about 1500 - where the dates start getting pretty scarce.
Now I've gotten the bug, however - Let me look for a presentable looking 1877. I have the IHC for that date, but I'm getting the sense that "World" is more the intended object of the thread.

 

Did I hear 1877 ?


France, 20 francs - 1877

Q

 

Only 1877 I could find.

 

I hope not so early , but as you appear to have hallucinated I guess we are stuck with it. So here is my 1877 effort.

We're not racing backwards @lehmansterms , we're sharing!
I'm glad we are as I'm seeing a lot of awesome coins from my fellow CT'ers.

Speaking of awesome (I think) here's a poor photo of an 1877 Prussian Five Mark

 

It's been close to a day, plus I'm getting a little impatient to get back into years I have...

German Empire - 1876-E 5 Pfennig


German Empire - 1876-J 50 Pfennig (Just bought it this morning!)

 

Wurttemberg 1876



Hesse / Darmstadt 1876

 

This is not the same coin shown in my last post.

 

Here are some for 1876.
