72 Candareens?... Sounds like a fun coin. From where did the denomination come? When I was in Scouts, we used to have Camporee's and Candy Apple Red

 

Likely 7.2 candareens, as is this silver Chinese coin minted 1890-1908. " A candareen (/kændəˈriːn/; Chinese: 分; pinyin: fēn; Cantonese Yale: fàn; Singapore English usage: hoon) is a traditional measurement of weight in East Asia. It is equal to 10 cash and is 1⁄10 of a mace. It is approximately 378 milligrams."

1/24 thaler = 1/320 silver mark
1763, Frederick Christian, Prince of Poland and Elector of Saxony-Albertine

 

1813 1 shilling and 6 pence bank token.

 

Nice! I have a 1s 6d bill = 1/3 dollar from Colonial Maryland, 1775.
I think one dollar came out to 4s 6d in that era, so 1s 6d was a convenient interval in both dollars and pounds.

 

Saxony-Albertine 1/48 Thaler 1807 Friedrich August I
0.250 billon, so the contrast is pretty poor on these as they wear.

AV 1/2 Goldgulden 1750-S Hannover Mint
George II 1727-60
Duke of Braunschweig-Luneberg-Calenberg-Hannover

 

Nice coin and also very cool that it has the full "grand" Hanoverian title

 

Thanks I think the King looks more realistic on these coins from Braunschweig/ then on the British ones.

 

George III 1810 Third of a Guinea. A Guinea was 21 shillings, so a third represented 7 shillings - a very odd denomination!

 

Sweden, Oscar I, 1850 1/16 Riksdaler Specie

It's seen some wear, but it was only a little over melt.
