I don't believe it's 90% silver but, rather, 50%.
Given that I'd probably run afoul of US sanctions if I purchased any North Korean coinage, I don't think I'll be starting a collection in this...
Doubtful. Recall that the 1879-1885 coins were only made in proof format anyhow, suggesting that demand for the coins wasn't really there.
Well, technically, take any George VI coin from India and there you have it: the last emperor of India!
I think you mean 50 kopecks? (Krone would be Swedish/Norwegian)

And to think that our money used to be backed by something other than our faith in the government.
Who knows? I've been astonished by the garbage some people are willing to fork out for online, so you never know!

Hi guys, So I picked up this coin a few years ago in a mixed silver lot on Ebay. I know it's Chinese but, given the wealth of counterfeit...
Meh, I'm more partial to the silver coinage of the early USSR, before the coinage was debased. Imperial Russian stuff is cool too but wildly...
I love the Bahamas silver coinage as a whole, especially the 50 cent, dollar, and 2 dollar pieces. Great choice!
I've been trying to unwind part of my collection, as it seems to have expanded way beyond the available space (and budget!) that I have for it....
Sheesh, if those are considered old, I must be really ancient, given that I remember the previous designs from 1934-1999!
AU-55
Gotta love those terribly made zinc cents; guess the mint had to save money somehow, given that it couldn't afford to make them from copper post 1982.
