    This came in yesterday. Kanik (c.750-800 AD), king of the Afrighid dynasty of Khwarezm, now the northern part of Uzbekistan (the delta of the river Oxus under the Aral sea). A fairly large coin, 30 mm, 7.00 gr. Zeno 109705. It's not so clear, but that's a horse on the reverse. It's backside and tail are fairly detailed.

    Accession of George I in 1714 by Vestner, 44mm in white metal. Eimer 465, MI ii 422/5. George I was the first British monarch from the House of Hanover. On the reverse, a horse leaps from Hanover to London. The date is chronogramatic.

    Here are a couple I received recently. I'm curious if anyone knows much about the spielmarke and a possible age for it? It appears much more crude (older?) than many examples I see on Numista. The two Vietnamese coins were sold as copper alloys but one piece unfortunately broke during transit but the break allows me to see that it looks zinc instead, and the other piece appears zinc as well.

    I also have had this coin for a little bit but have never been able to figure out an ID on it. It's a bit of a long shot so I don't have big hopes on IDing it. One commenter mentioned it looks a bit like Spanish Queen Isabel II but I couldn't find anything that was a close match.

    1932 Germany 4 pfennig. Which image fashion do you prefer, the separate obv/rev or the side by side pair with white background? 1932 DE-A 4 p obv.JPG 1932 DE-A 4 p rev.JPG 1932 DE-A 4 p.jpg

    Side by Side but I'm not impartial. That's what I switched to.

    side by side is a better presentation.

    Here are a handful of low grade Roman AE follis I've gotten in the last couple weeks with an eBay giftcard. I'd appreciate any further identification on the first piece and also clarification on the last coins' denomination, Roman denominations are Greek to me.

    A small batch of coins from Armenia. My first coins from there, and I now learn that they have their own written language. Units of money are drams.

    These showed up today, got here in about 9 days from England! All are obvious as to what they are except for the Iran 1926 CN 50 dinars. The shoe store token I am thinking comes from Racine, WI, but not sure on that yet. 1863 GB 1 p obv-horz.jpg 1877 GB 1 p obv-horz.jpg 1926 IR 50 d obv-horz.jpg 1948 GB half crown obv-horz.jpg ND Shoe Token 50 c obv-horz.jpg

    Came a few days ago, Botswana. I have been experimenting with a new photo editing program from inPixio which cost me money, supposed to crop out the background. The other than round coins, you can see it leaves a bit of a ragged edge, which does not please me entirely. The round coins I do a circular crop using the free program photoscape, and it works flawlessly.
