We stalled out for a few days...another Israel, 1963 1 lira

 

South Vietnam 50 Xu, 1963

 

2003 Vietnam 5000 dong. Another freebie recently. I hear they no longer issue coins in Vietnam, all paper money now. Dunno if coins still circulate or not.

 

Vietnam, 1976

 

2003 Vietnam 2000 dong

 

Playing from 2000. Not a recognized state, so I'll find another if there is disagreement if this qualifies. Transnistria, or Transdniestria, officially the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic - eastern Moldavia. I find it curious that they still use the communist imagery. Maybe they don't anymore.

 

Ha! That was a year 2003 coin with a denomination of 2000 dong! Anyhow, no big deal. Here is a (Year) 2000 20 Leke from Albania.

 

Ha! lol As Bugs Bunny would say, "What a maroon!" Sorry. Hopefully this makes up for it . . . . somehow. India, both a 2003 and a 2000. So, we move forward with 2000 Albania.

 

I choose to follow your India lead. Here is a AM1227/1799 AD Mysore State Tipu Sultan AE Paisa. Love these old elephant coins!

Great Britain, 1889

 

GB 1860

 

Cambodia 5 Centimes, 1860

 

I have one of those 1860 Cambodia coins too, a 10 centimes. Mine looks very rough, dunno if it is from worn out dies or perhaps this one is a forgery? The reverse looks like a casting.

 

From what I have read many of those Cambodia coins were made with worn and or cracked dies. Not sure what the full story is on the issue. For years I thought they were regular issue. They were listed in my copy of Yeoman' "A Catalog Of Modern World Coins". Last time I looked in The Standard Catalog Of World Coins they were missing and moved to the Unusual World Coins issue as "medallic coinage".
