A very nice Tanka, Bone. And a historical piece.

And after seeing really beautiful square coins by other members, I am hesitant to scan some of my ugly Indian square coins....

I have one this (1982), but I can't scan it right now :



Not much to say :

Philippines km224 1 Sentimo (1979-1982)
One friend of mine went there to work in the 70s and brought some "souvenirs" to me.

 

Hello bgarg,

I also own some square coins which are showing much wear, like some of those Ceylon 5 cents, so don't be shy to show your Indian square coins.

By the way, these are very nice coins shown here!

Bangladesh 5 poisha

 

And 5 chetrums from Bhutan

 

Thank You very much for taking a look. It's good to know that the attribution and the coin match.

Take Care

This week-end I acquired another square coin: 1 pound from the bailiwick of Jersey.

 

Bart already beat me to it - but the only square coin I have is a UNC 1971 Ceylon 5 cent.

They are cool. Anyone up to do a type set???????

 

Here's a Netherlands 1914 5 cent that caused all sorts of design problems.

Hoitsema (the mint master) and Wienecke (the designer) didn't get along. For some reason, Hoitsema was determined to have a four-sided coin, and he constantly pestered Wienecke with suggestions. Even though their offices were in the same building, Wienecke wrote a letter of complaint to Hoitsema. It read (if I'm translating this right), "As a subordinate, it is difficult to determine if all these interferences are specific requirements or if they are given to me with the freedom to put them aside."

 

Netherlands zinc 5 cent, issued during the war.

 

One of my square coins from Poland: 20 Zloty 2006 PP Proof Painter Aleksander Gierymski

 

here is one of my square coins:

 

Here's my only square coin. I guess it's technically only a token. I know it's a Kriegsgeld (war money) but haven't been able to find too much more info. Any additional info would be apprecited.

Does this count. Not a circulating coin but it is square
