Here's the coin from the 500th anniversary. Also one commemorating Vasco De Gama, who led the voyage.[ATTACH][ATTACH]
If you do a Google search for "Morocco coins" and look at the images, you can see there are a lot of different combinations of five and six stars,...
Here's an example:[ATTACH]
Older Moroccan coins have that six pointed star and a design that looks similar.
I really like Portuguese coins and have been quietly amassing a collection. Many of them have high book values but I notice most sell for less...
Yeah, the same seller had a few others in other colors. I figured it was too good to be true.
But it's not what it looks like, so that makes me not interested. If a coin has a date of 1830 and is really made 170 years later, that's no good...
Yeah, I couldn't find it in Krause either which is a problem.
Verily, twas purchased through the miracle of electronic commerce from a virtual shopkeep. I pray now that the courier does not suffer some...
I believe I just picked up a $50 coin in a $2 lot, but I have to wait until it arrives to make sure it is what I think it is. I'll post it if I...
The seller was only asking $10 which was low enough for me to be interested, but if it was made in 2008 then it's not something I want. It's like...

There's one elephant coin I am aware of that I still want to get and that's the 1815 Ceylon 1 or 2 stiver. They always go for more than I want to...
That's my definition of a good way to spend an afternoon. In world coins a little bit of knowledge can get you a long way in the dealer's bulk...
That's very nice. A few months ago I started a thread of elephant coins. I can dig it up for you if you didn't see it then.
I get them as big as I can because I have my coins organized by country, and several of them occupy an entire book by themselves. I want to get as...
Thanks for all the info. I had no idea there were so many examples of this type of currency.
Foreign paper money I'm interested in has always just been something with a picture that I like, so it's not really any one theme. I like history,...
I've seen a lot of different German notgeld notes from the World War I period, and they often have neat designs and don't seem to cost much. I'm...
