Picked up a few things from today's Stephen Album sale.

British Virgin Islands 2019 Una and the Lion, Mintage 50,000

 

In 2017 the Falkland Islands issued a bullion coin commemorating the 35th Anniversary of Liberation. Remember the 1982 Falkland Island war between Great Britain and Argentina? Original mintage was to be 50,000. When first released in reverse proof, the coins had the moto "Britannia Rules the Waves". This created a problem with Great Britain which owned the trademark on the use of the name "Britannia". An order was issued to remove the motto. Only 7,329 coins were issued and released with the motto. The remaining 42,671 did not have a motto.
Another issue was the motto of "Rules the Waves", a statement. This was considered an error since the original wording was "Britannia, Rule the Waves", a command. So the coin is considered a double error of sorts.

No Motto Mintage 42,671

 

Check out this sweet 2 pence! I've wanted one of these big cartwheel things for a while.

I read somewhere that this was the first coin to show Britannia with the waves.

This thing is a monster!

 

That's a beauty! I remember when I got my first one I felt kind of overjoyed at such a big heavy hunk of copper!

 

Picked these 2 up while searching for a large size mexico peso to go with my 8 reale pieces. Only meant to win 1 but wound up winning 2.

 

Little guy....1681 Salzburg 3 kreuzer.
PCGS MS-63

 

I Found this accumulation of foreign coins at a local junk store in southern GA for about $6.00. Shown is a pair predecimal GB £1 notes from 1940 and 1950 respectively along with $25.80 in AUD and a single Swiss 5 Franc coin. Not to mention the same accumulation also had a large number of modern South Korean Won coins and a large amount of modern 5,10,100 Yen coins.

 

Modern treasure!

 

Sellers pics, off the bay

 

San Marino 1898 5 Lire. I came across this variety while researching a different coin and decided that I had to find one.

 

Love that 1868 Florin - I have looked for this date in MS in vain for many years and always seem to just miss it. Very nice job!

 

I have one of these (or one very similar). Probably tobacco plantation tokens from Sumatra, ca. 1902-1913.
