Post British Empire Empire Coins

British India. Alwar State. AR rupee. 1891

 

1911 Canada 'Godless' Large Cent MS67BN PCGS
No longer mine

 

That sure is a beauty. I see I have a couple of the 1911 large cents. The coppery looking one is in a plastic case of Canadian make, and I guess both do not mention God.

 

My collecting focus is mostly on ancient coins, but I do enjoy British Empire coins as well. Love the history behind them; and I have to say, with all their flaws, I can't help but be moved with admiration and respect for the men who explored, conquered, and created the greatest empire the world has ever seen.

Here is a new one I got a few days ago. Just finished putting together this little presentation last night:

 

Good work! I notice a C mint mark on your rupee. I love ancient coins and British Empire as well. Just uploading a bunch of BEIC stuff to zeno. Here is a very small one, BEIC 1835 1/12 anna, Madras mint, KM#445, numista#16616

 

Yes sir, minted in Calcutta. The auction description said Bombay, but studying the coin in hand (and learning about the various mintmark placements/types) I spied that tiny "C" for Calcutta.

That's a nice EIC coin! I have been browsing for some - I'd like to get a shipwreck one sometime. I do have one that came in a group lot but it is very worn, date is totally gone. It's a quarter anna, from 1830-1832.

 

This 1750 Z VOC duit looks like it spent some time in salt water. The EIC X cash I suspect might be from the wreck of the Admiral Gardner, though I have no provenance claims of that.

 

I believe the Admiral Gardner was only carrying (British) East India Company coins.

My Admiral Gardner salvage.

One of these days I will get around to soaking this one and getting some verdicare on it to get rid of some of the gunk. I really like the lions!

 

BEIC Half Anna Bombay Mint 1835

 

BEIC half anna Madras Mint 1835. Numista has info on how to determine mint on this type of coin. This one is about 30.7mm diameter.
