The one from Morocco is actually a beautiful design. I also like the 10 centesimi coin with the bee.

Christian

 

Steve,there are a few key pieces in the French Chamber of Commerce series that are worth looking for.The Italian 1919R 10 Centesimi with the bee & flower is a key coin.

Aidan.

And finaly so far one I am totaly unsure of but think it might be Japanese??

De Orc

 

Steve,that Japanese thing could be a phone token.Roy will know.

Aidan.

 

Don't know what it is (Korean? Thai? ???) but there are no Japanese characters on the piece.

 

Wasnt sure what it is LOL just picked Japanese asa guess, dont know anything about coins from that part of the world (Unless they are British Commonwealth)

De Orc :kewl:

 

I have most of those as well...my favorite ones of the ones you posted are the morocco (love the intricate design) and the italian bee with Victor Emanuele III:

 

the characters on one side of that last coin look Korean to me.

 

found anther example of it...it was being sold as an unidentified South Korean Token.

I like the aluminium Vichy coins...cool design, just not lot of wieght Aluminium coins feel like play money



Hey orc...do you have any coin from Norway? I have a bunch from my trip there if you would like some...

 

Thanks Drusus but I will pass on them I just decided to buy a kilo of world to have a bit of fun and came away with some nice bits Have to agree with you about the Vichy coin LOL

De Orc

 

Steve,France was using aluminium coins right up until 1959.These are of the same design as the 3rd Republic brass ones.There was not a 2 Francs between 1960 & 1978,but the very chunky nickel 2 Francs was in circulation from 1979 until being superceded by the Euro in 2002.

There are mintmarks located next to the left-hand axe blade on the Vichy French coins.Some of them actually command a premium.These are so easy to miss,as these branch mint coins also have the Paris Mint wing & cornucopia privy marks in addition to the mintmarks themselves.

Aidan.

 

The South Korean token if I am not mistaken is actually some kind of bus token used in the 60s-70s.
