I second the website recommended by@ddddd. It is easier to use than Hafner's books.
I found hundreds, maybe thousands, of these types in the town and village markets of Indonesia -- especially in that part of Borneo that is...
I'm curious, then, as to how the dealer's compensation is computed. Does the smelter then melt all the coins of various impurities and determine...
Thanks for sharing; the write-up is a concise history lesson. I have a few scattered Maundy issues, but certainly, no nice sets like you have....
