1752 Russian Empire 25 kopeks of Czarina Elizabeth.

 

My newest one

 

I own several but these two are special. A relative gave me a leather pouch of coins. His dad owned some of them. These were the oldest of the bunch.

 

Here are some from Sweden, Liege, Hungary, Zeeland, and Poland.

 

Here's some more from Russia, Cambridgeshire, Luzerne and Sardinia.

 

Here are a few for you, Tyler. 1744 Utrecht VOC duit, 1745 Great Britain shilling, 1760 Aachen XII heller, 1791 Zeeland VOC 1 gulden.

 

Got this one recently, and decided to use as my avatar here.

 

Is that All? Nice coins

 

Dutch Republic, region of West Frisia, 1 duit, 1739.
Fun fact: in case you're wondering why the privy mark is a turnip, the master of the mint at the time was Jan Knol, whose last name means "turnip" in Dutch .

 

Sometime ago, I saw mention of a coin called a "Cartwheel" which I thought applied to silver dollars. Apparently King George III decreed that a penny should be one ounce (Troy) of copper and they struck some Two-pence coins...had to have one, along with it is a penny and a 19th century half-pence and a zincoln just for size comparison:
