Featured A world tour - post the next country.

To Monaco! Speaking of tiny European states, anyone have any Andorras or Liechtensteins? Or San Marino! I'd very much like to see some of those.

South Africa

 

Very handsome coin there!

 

Very clean. Okay for the type of collection I have.

 

1892 ZAR 2 1/2 shilling. Mintage 16,300. Back then it was a separate country.

 

Well, I have discovered a treasure trove on my laptop. Apparently I took this picture in 2006 (?? what phone) to sell this coin on eBay. Wish I'd kept it! But I found a whole bunch of cruddy, small, photo files. Some day I'll organize them, but they will be great for this thread.

In any case I searched my laptop for Madagascar as I figured it was my best shot at finding a coin to get from South Africa (and by the year of this coin ZAR was back in the SA region, right? My history of the Boer Wars is pretty vague).

So Madagascar, and that will open up a bit of travel perhaps.



I'd say my photo skills have improved a tad. Shoot the coins weren't even centered and clearly the white balance was more than a little off as that was an NGC slab. Not worth fixing though, I don't even have the coin anymore.

 

That's a dandy coin, think I may have one similar. Bet I have a new Mozambique to post next...1957 1 escudo
