Seated Liberty Foreign Coins

Hi all, it's been awhile since I posted. Best regards to all. Lately been interested in the other Seated Liberty coins from Peru. Starting a set of these. I find them amusing and well done.
Anyone else doing a typeset of these?

I find the design of these coins quite appealing. The iconography is awesome, And presented well on both side of the coin. But alas, I am not doing a type set.
I only have the one coin, 1914 1 Sol. NGC MS-60.

 

See the coins of colonial France Indochina (Vietnam).

This 10 centime is in the same sequence as your Peruvian uno dino. France also used Seated Liberty on the entire series up to the crown-sized piastre.

 

I'm not building a set, per se, but I do have one:

 

Guatemala 1 Real, 1900. Not sure if the figure represents Liberty or the Republic.

 

Here is mine also.

 

Wow - I know about England's "Seated Britannia" but never knew there are so many others from different countries.

 

Switzerland had a Seated Helvetia, so to say, on this 2 Fr coin (Wikimedia image link) and some other denominations, roughly between 1850 and 1875 ...

 

Here is an Australia Token I have had for a while.

By my notes they describe it as "Seated Justice" but the imagery is pretty similar.

 

Ah, completely forgot that I had one of those, too (in prooflike condition)!

Ahhhhh. Cool stuff. Luck Duck

 

So cool. Looks like a real bad China Counterfeit. Drunk chinaman. Trying to copy us coin. Thanks

 

Like your too

 

Like the old cent hat on a stick and shield from another us coin

 

Yeah. I hear ya. Those are a surprise to me as well. I love when the members wake me up with some great coins @physics-fan3.14. @alurid

 

There's more to collect than just U.S. coins. A lot more overdates and varieties to be discovered, and cheaper too.

 

Thanks for these.

 

Here's one for you that I just came across. Mexico (Chihuahua) 1/4 Real, 1865

 

Hi all, been adding a few to this set. Fun stuff!
