Here's some new animal coins. A few different Peru 1 sol, a Seychelles 25 rupees for my turtles collection and a UK 50 pence Paddington bear (for some reason these coins don't scan well).

 

Don't know much about this coin it is from 1941 and in good condition.

 

Just a couple o’ 94’s

 

I missed out on a SA 1892 2.5 shillings (16000 mintage) on eBay, but got sniped at the end. I don’t know what I was thinking, I should have bid stronger. Just as well, I paid out for the 1858/1858 H10 i posted on a different thread. It was more money than I usually pay for a coin, so I’m going to have to lay low with purchases for a bit.

I haven't stopped collecting my medievals, just the ones I would like are hitting the higher price marks.

Luckily one of the ones I have wanted for a while didn't cost me too much. I've owned a Henry VII Groat for some time but never owned one with his profile. I had to settle for a half groat, which is just fine by me.

I just picked up a few new medals.

The first one, I guess, would be considered an art medal.

The Svalbard Treaty recognizes the sovereignty of Norway over the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, at the time called Spitsbergen. The exercise of sovereignty is, however, subject to certain stipulations, and not all Norwegian law applies. The treaty regulates the demilitarisation of the archipelago. The signatories were given equal rights to engage in commercial activities (mainly coal mining) on the islands. As of 2012, Norway and Russia are making use of this right.

Uniquely, the archipelago is an entirely visa-free zone under the terms of the Svalbard Treaty

The second one is a 50th-anniversary medal for the Katanga railroad. I think the tv show "Mysteries of the Abandoned" did a piece on this railroad. I could be wrong.
