Picked out some coins which hadn't been priced or packaged yet from a local shop. Russia, 1781 EM, 5 Kopecks, Ekaterina II Some previous big Russian coppers for comparison: 1858 1924 (USSR)
A couple UK-minted wartime coins from Iceland. Denmark was invaded in 1940 which interfered with coin production for Iceland. Left: 1940 2 Krónur Right 1940 2 Aurar Both were pretty cheap at $1 each.
A rare thaler purchase for me. Most larger German States denominations are outside my price range, and I tend to prefer quantity over quality. But this one was only $40, which seemed fair. Prussia, 1861, 1 Thaler, Wilhelm I coronation circulating commemorative
Latvia, 1924, 1 Lats I like interwar coinage from the Baltic states (and Danzig too, I guess). These have a little bit of iridescent toning around the perimeter of the obverse when the light hits them at an angle. I had trouble capturing it with a camera. I don't usually pay a premium for toned coins, as the market's tastes don't align well with mine. But these were the same price as some untoned ones, so I picked the two which I found the most attractive in coloration.
Great set of world coins! I particularly like that 1858 5 Kopek. I have a few of the later Catherine the Great ones but I've not seen an earlier one before. Thanks for sharing!
