TRIVIA: 1935 Commemoratives

I'm sure you know there were seven commemorative coins produced during 1935 (my birthyear) by the United States Mint at Philadelphia and the branch mints, (Denver; & San Francisco).

Texas Independence Centennial:
Denver - 10,007
Philadelphia - 9,996
San Francisco - 10,008

Daniel Boone Bicentennial:
Denver - 5,005
Philadelphia - 10,010
San Francisco - 5,005

Connecticut Tercenteary:
Philadelphia - 25,018

Arkansas Centennial:
Denver - 5, 505
Philadelphia - 13,012
San Francisco - 5,506

Hudson, New York Sesquicentennial:
Philadelphia - 10,008

California - Pacific International Exposition:
San Francisco - 70,132

Old Spanish Trail:
Philadelphia - 10,008

And you know 1935 was the last year the United States of America issued a business strike Silver Dollar (commemorating Peace - 1921 through 1935). Philadelphia issued 1,576,000 and San Francisco struck 1,964,000.

You most likely, also, know 1935 was the first year Canada issued a Silver Dollar (Voyager) and that Silver Dollar was a commemorative coin honoring the Silver Jubilee (25th Anniversary) of King George V. 428,707 were minted. In case you've not seen one or don't know about the Jubilee commemoration (on obverse are the Roman numerals XXV), here's a photo courtesy of Coin Page (to see reverse or enlargements click appropriate link below picture):

The Bank of Canada produced another Silver Jubilee commemoration item in 1935. The text is in French - the item is a 25 Dollar Banknote. Here's a photo courtesy of Alliance Coin and Banknote Gallery:

The rest of this article exposes you to some of the more important commemorative coins issued by other countries during 1935.

One such coin is coin is the Silver Five Kronor issued to honor the 500th Anniversary of the Swedish Sveriges Riksdag (The National Diet of Sweden) or National Legislative Assembly of Sweden. The roots of the modern Riksdag can be traced back to a 1435 meeting attended by the Swedish nobility in the city of Arboga. This Swedish Silver 5 Kronor bears the two dates (1435 and 1935) on its reverse. Here's a photo, courtesy of Coin Page and The Riksbank, Sweden, of this historic commemorative:

Let me tell you of another 1935 commemorative coin that honors the life of Diego Antonio Feijo, a Brazilian priest and statesman who, throughout his life (August 10 1784 - November 10 1843), championed Brazilian rights and the right to National Statehood apart from Portugal's sovereignty. The coin I'm about to show you, courtesy of Don's World Coin Gallery, that honors Diego Fiejo is this aluminum-bronze 500 Reis (14,000 minted) :

Another Brazilian 1935 aluminum-bronze coin commemorates another legend, a Carnarian Jesuit missionary named Jose de Anchieta (March 19,1534 - June 9, 1597), for his Brazilian self-government pursuits which included the rights of Brazil's indigenous natives. Diego de Anchieta helped found Sao Paulo in 1554 and Rio de Janeiro in 1565.

Actually the first commemorative I ever bought back when I was a young man.

 

You're welcome and yes I do own it. :smile Those are the sellers images. I'm waiting on a new lens for my Nikon to arrive so I can take my own. Here are the larger images:

 

Great article, as always, Clinker! :thumb:
Always a pleasure to read

Hi, again, leeg...

Such a nice coin I can almost see into the hollow where the Charter was hid for safe keeping...lol:mouth:...

I know this thread is probably way dead, and I apologize in advance.

But, believe it or not, I happen to have a CB initialed Jose de enchieta, in decent condition. There's next to no info on it, at least in regards to what it might be worth. It's making me think it belongs in a museum... My family gave me a bunch of old coins for Christmas one year, and I managed to find it while rummaging. Assuming anyone will reply, how rare are we talking, and yes it's the initialed 1935 one. And secondly, I'm not a collector, who would I even sell it to?

 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the coin you mention is pretty common and can be had in good shape for a couple of dollars.

 

Well that's bizzare because there's only one on ebay and it's going for almost three hunter. Oh well.

 

People can list for whatever price they want, doesn't mean anyone is actually going to buy it. Here is one that actually sold: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1936-1000-REIS-ALUM-BRONZE-COIN-UNC-26mm-KM-541-Y-52-/151398339662?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item23400b544e&nma=true&si=yHYWjg7wSghZsbKVDJgpm54qMJw%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

 

Again, I have the one from 35. I know the later ones are worth next to Nothing.

 

The difference is a couple of dollars, but believe what you want.
