1894:

Straits Settlements 10 cents 1894

 

Not in panzerman's league of AU coins, but still a gold Prussian 20-mark from 1894, Berlin Mint.

 

ZAR penny 1894

 

i just noticed that my 2 reales is stamped over another 2 reales of the same design i think

 

ZAR shilling 1894

 

The bogus designs you see on your coin are probably due to clash marks on the die. After die clash, portions of the design on the opposite die can imprint on a die … Usually around the center of the die because the die are slightly convex. If one die is significantly harder than the other, the softer die will only have the imprint.

I made the diagrams below when I was trying to understand clash marks on one of my coins.

 

British India 1/4 anna 1894, Calcutta mint

 

Kingdom of Italy - Medal - Instituted 1894 - Italian African Campaign Medal

 

Canada large cent 1894

 

Oh, yeah! On the reverse? It sure looks like something else was there before the 1894 reverse was struck. Yeah, maybe the same design. I thought maybe the prior version (1893 and earlier) but I cannot seem to make heads or tails (pun intended) while comparing. What are your thoughts?

Ah-ha! I think Jimski either on the right path or dead on. Nice graphics, Jimski!

 

My last batch of 1894s.

Republic of Mexico ten-centavos.


Republic of France (second republic?) five-centimes

Kingdom of Denmark, one-ore.

Austro-Hungarian Empire, ten-heller.

Kingdom of Greece, twenty-lepta.

And one of my very favorites - German New Guinea, ten-pfennig. One of my very imprisoned coins.

1893:
GB - Medal - 1893 - Wedding of Prince George (Later George V.) and Mary of Teck

Interestingly there are two mistakes on the obverse: Mary is called May and George is wrongly called Prince of Wales while the reverse correctly calls him Duke of York

Regarding Mary of Teck. she was informally called May (see Wikipedia excerpt below).

Mary of Teck .... She was informally known as "May", after the month of her birth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_of_Teck

Numista lists 3 tokens commemorating the wedding, they all refer to Mary as May. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/exonumia52102.html

I couldn't find your exact commemorative on the internet.

You are correct about George not being Prince of Wales when married in 1893. He was to become Prince of Wales in 1901, when his father Edward VII became king.

 

No 94/ or 93 I will be back in 92.....
