Yes - that style of reverse is why I thought Jeton from the start. Most of those linked to I have seen before - just not met one with the standing...
The writing is certainly earlier medieval than the usual Krauwinckel writing, now that I look at it more closely. As best I can make out:...
Bump - can nobody help me with this?
... and finally this 1933 Wreath Crown. If anyone else has tried collecting these you will know they are never cheap and this was a good upgrade...
Then this little tinker - 1835 One third of a farthing: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I've been working on some upgrades again. All picked up from a local auction house for what, I think, were good prices. First two Pennies - 1904...
I picked up this at auction yesterday. From the reverse design I assume a Krauwinckel Jetton, but does anyone know any more?[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I can't say I have nailed it down exactly but I think the Principality of Catalonia is where your answer lies. A search on Numista throws up a...
It is not English, though the portrait resembles those of Henry VII and Henry VIII but reversed. I thought it might be Scotland or Ireland but I...
Both Italy and Spain have coins of a similar size to the British Pennies and Halfpennies through most of the 19th century. I can barely give them...
Yes - sorry I was not impugning your photos at all, they were great. It doesn't help when the reference books photos are poor though.

Not Egypt but Turkey. Muhammad V, 1909 to 1918AD (AH1327-36). I suspect 5 Kurush but I would need dimensions to be sure as I can't make out all...
Also a couple of upgrades to my English collection - 1684 Sixpence (wrongly labelled as a fourpence in the auction) and a 1719 Farthing with the...
Serendipity! I picked up this Hungary Denar today. Ferdinand I 1535 with Madonna and Child. I do not have any book that covers these so any info...
... and a more typical condition sixpence of the same date and mintmark: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks for the tag @Mark Metzger . My own favourite groat is this Henry VI form the Calais mint: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Surely that would be worth reporting to your postal services in the Netherlands? It must be a local issue - I have sent lots to the Netherlands...
A couple arrived yesterday from auction: Bavaria 3 Kreuser 1736: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Baden Wolfenbuttel Quarter Thaler 1612, with a nice Wildman:...
Thanks for that. I post any interesting paranumismatica here but don't tend to follow much in between as to much of it is too "modern" for me. Oh...
