Post your extraordinary, unusual, technologically advanced, etc.. coins here.

This isn't exactly a "coin", it's what we in the service called a "Challenge Coin". I picked this up when I was a Combat Medic during the Viet Nam War.

The reverses have various field designs.

 

On Sunday on 9/24 I will post on EBay a paktong counterfeit pistareen dated 1716. Its suggested by some experts paktong may have entered coinage possibly in India in 17thC. See seller johnmenc and reply with comments. This 1716 is the earliest Zn paktong coin I have found anywhere. Prove me wrong & earlier. John Lorenzo U.S.

 

Remember there is copper nickel ancients and then Zn paktong which is much later.

 

Speaking of very detailed coinage...



All sharing this reverse.

 

A couple of newer coins/rounds that I thought were cool...


If only the US would try something different now and then, to spice things up a bit.

That's pretty neat.

 

Of the coins that I didn't make this one is probably my favorite modern:

 

Here's the favourite 21st-century coin in my collection. Love Lord of the Rings and love coins. How could I lose?

 

I thought these were cool looking...

 

Finally got around to slab these

 

Wow!!! Metatron on a coin??!? I gotta have a coin like that! At least, I think I gotta have it...maybe. But maybe not. I wonder who made that coin? Is it legal (spiritually speaking) to own a coin with that name on it? I suppose these are questions better posed to my spiritual mentor.

 

I like em, here's one I have...

 

There's a series of these with METATRON being the first.

 

I'm in love!

 

I bought some slabs and a frame to put these in...just want 1 more LOL
