    While dealing with the seller for a few coins I had been watching I spotted these and decided to make a deal.

    The first was the British India 1891 Princely State of Alwar Rupee. I have never owned one of these but who can resist the Queen Victoria Gothic portrait.

    Next was the Burma 1852 Kyat Peacock Rupee (year 1214) I have liked the style of these and the price wasright.

    Thn I decided on 1880 Peru Diez Centavos, while i know these are that valuable I really loved the strike and appeal of this coin.

    Lastly, was the 1898 (AH1293/24) Ottoman Egypt 5 Qirsh. Dont really like the style so much but the eye appeal for me and the price made this coin a easy choice.

    I was able to locate another. I like the obverse of these more so than the standard British India ones.

    1877 Princely State of Alwar Rupee
