Here's one of my `temple tokens' / tanka. I know a little about it, but not a lot. What can you tell me? [img] [img]
Correct. Definitely one to avoid. As to the `8'. It's not so much a case of having seen it before on fakes as it is not having seen it at all on...
While being no expert in 8R's I do notice differences between Roman's coin and the example you provide. Look at the position of the tip of the...
You are right about the quality of the images ;). From these (to my eye at least) there is nothing that screams out `this is definitely genuine'...
This fake is the right weight, but what you can't tell from the image is that it is slightly oversized. If it were the right size it would be the...
The obverse `Marianne' looking female may look french, but it does not fit in with the time frame 1777. the reverse doesn't either. Looks 20th...
Here's a fake portrait 8 reales. See if you can spot the give away. [img]
Here's another rare french jeton dated 1579, this time it was struck for Mary Queen of Scots during the time of her incarceration (1568 till her...
:odd:I might be wrong, but I seem to recall Aidan saying in some other thread that he didn't have copies of Krause (?) I could have given him...
The Tallero would fool nigh on anyone IMHO), even with a close visual inspection . More so if it were in a flip / holder of any kind. The only...
Some more: 1. is a Brunswick Wolfenbuttel 24 mariengroschen silvering worn off [img] 2. is a Saxony 2/3 thaler silvering nigh on intact but...
That's what it is supposed to be. My one is missing the 1/ bit, and the 9 is a good bit larger than it should be.
The inscription on this particular coin (Tanah Melayu?) is identical to all other pieces of the type excepting for variations in the date caused...
What a silly billy statement. Here's two examples of the smallest denomination from his period in office in Orange. Copper `denier tournois'...
aaaaah! That explains all. I bow to your wisdom :bow: Now I just need to find someone with a copy of it at hand....... :) Thanks Doug.
The one i've posted was issued in 1833 even though the AH date translates to 1991. The people at Soho mint probably had difficulty with arabic....
Aidan. Why start a thread on English, Irish and Scots coins in connection with Oor Wullie? After all, he first appeared (portrait) on coins made...
Thanks for that Doug. I had a look but it seems that it was published in 1998, and that makes me wonder if its the right one given that the one...
Aidan, here's a Brit Commonwealth issue coin for you. Minted in England (probably the Soho mint in Birmingham) for the southern Malasian state of...
You must know your history very well indeed Aidan. Speaking about the Javanese, here's a nice 1/2 stuiver from Java (Kingdom of Holland). These...
