    Thanks. That German half-mark was only thirty-some bucks, already in a PCGS MS65 holder with a TrueView image! Would've been very difficult to pass up. So I didn't. :)

    Let's move from the Czech Republic into 16th century Hungary. Speaking of awesome coins for incredibly cheap prices, this monster-toned 1516 Hungarian denar set me back less than 20 bucks, and several of the others I had in that collection cost me less than $10!

    Never seen that type before. Neat.

    Let's cross the Black Sea from Romania's coast and head to Asia Minor, into the mists of more than two millennia.

    Miletus/Miletus was/is in what is now modern Turkey, so play from Turkey.

    (This continues my "cool cheapos" streak, since I got this awesome little ancient for the princely sum of 26 bucks. The NGC slab I later got for it cost more than the coin.)

    Greece. It is easy to see that their modern day coinage often is inspired by the ancient designs and art forms. 1990 GR 50 d obv.JPG 1990 GR 50 d rev.JPG

    Turkey. Looking at the map, that island of Lesbos looks so close to Turkey that I am surprised Greece can claim it. There may have been some dispute about that in the past. 1970 TR 10 k obv.JPG 1970 TR 10 k rev.JPG

    OK, I am stuck for the next country. Would need to be Iran, Azerbaijan or Georgia.

    Here. To Iran. (This one's a repeat, I'll admit.)

    Yes. That is why I included the Wiki in my post. It was under Ottoman rule for hundreds of years and only became part of The Kingdom of Greece in 1912.

    Bhutan

    Kind of dubious on this one. I don't see "six dots and an X" in the Standard Catalog.

    I think your Bhutan coin looks fine. Here are a couple similar examples I got from a very reputable and knowledgeable collector in Canada. He has actually traveled to Bhutan a few times to get coins. I likely have the orientation of the images wrong, sorry, hard to tell with coins like this. 1820-1835 Bhutan 1-2 r obv (2).JPG 1820-1835 Bhutan 1-2 r rev (2).JPG 1835 Bhutan 1-2 r obv.JPG 1835 Bhutan 1-2 r rev.JPG

    Thanks. I just can't find that particular type with the six dots and the X in any of the three Standard Catalogs from 1700 through 2000. I've been burned a bit lately with fakes so I guess I am a little over sensitive.

    Anyway, here is a similar looking coin from Cooch Behar on the other side of the border between Bhutan and India.
