Hamman88,there weren't any British silver coins that were struck in 1808.1787 was the last regular date prior to 1816.In fact,there was such a shortage of coin in that period,various traders throughout the British Isles were forced to issue their own tokens.The effects of the coin shortage had a huge impact in the British colonies in Canada as well,so the traders over there were forced to issue their own tokens as well.

Thanks, how about the 1876 gothic Victoria Florin, and the 1892 Crown? I appreciate your help, I should really buy one of the 1801-1901 coin books...thanks again.

I look forward to that free download. Thanks.
So does anyone know the mintage of the British 1876 gothic florin, 1892 Crown, and 1720 shilling?

Great. Thank you. When you say 'unknown' do you mean that the mintage is completely unknown? Or just that you do not know what it is?

 

I see. Well, I appreciate your help with the other ones, thank you.

Great photos, especially the obverse.

Why thank you. That 1720 shilling is one of my favorite British coins.

 

While we're here...I might as well ask about the mintages for the Turkey 1293/19 (1893) 2 kurus, as well as the Turkey 1293/23 (1897) 1 kurus. I hope I'm not pushing my luck by asking entirely too many questions...

I see...well, the numbers on the 2 kurus coin are 1293/19 and on the 1 kurus coin 1293/23. I may have been mistaken in my conversion of the dates. Do you know what the proper dates would be?

 

The AH1293 is the accession date.You have got to add 18 to it,as Year 1 is AH1293.You can find an AH date conversion chart in the back of the Krause catalogue,or type in 'Islamic Date Converter' into the board's Search function,as there's been a couple of date converters posted before.

I see... I just did my conversions based on the knowledge that in Turkey 1293/26 = 1900.

 

Rexesq,the year 1900 is AH1318.You have to take off 3%,as the AH year is shorter than an AD year - 354 days instead of 365 days (366 days in an AD leap year),& for the fact that the AH calendar is a lunar calendar,as opposed to the solar calendar of the AD calendar.

Okay, then that would make 1293/19 = 1894
