... and as the previous poster doesn't seem to have got to his Gothic Crown yet, here is mine. (I know it has been posted on other threads!) [ATTACH]
Previous posts have covered most of the larger Vicky British coins, so here are some of the tiddlers from my collection. Clockwise from top left:...
I generally don't go for the Italian coins much, except this. Not the best example I know but as a filler in an album bought at auction I am happy...

As the OP presumably knows this is actually about shilling sized - about one inch across. I have a coincraft book on Scottish coins which lists...

Unfortunately there are lots of fakes coming into the local auction houses over here at present, so beware if you are bidding online. They usually...
I think Mat's coin is the Double Florin KM#763. My Krause has USD 37.50 in Fine. (They seem to be quite common in Granny's drawers.) These coins...
Nice Gothic florin! I have examples for most dates except the two scarcest (1854 and 1862) but few are much better than Fine. Once you appreciate...
