From Santo Domingo it makes sense to travel to Puerto Rico.

1896 Puerto Rico 10 Centavos

 

Islands, Curacao 1944 D

 

Venezuela. Pocket change from a 70's visit.

 

Venezuela to Iceland

 

Canada - Newfoundland

 

Sail south (in 1813) past the Lesser Antilles to the north coast of South America & you would find Essequibo and Demerary.


The original area of Essequibo and Demerary included present-day Suriname, French Guiana, and parts of Brazil and Venezuela. Essequibo and Demerary was sighted by Columbus in 1498. The region was claimed for the British by Sir Walter Raleigh during the reign of Elizabeth I. For the next 150 years, possession alternated between the Dutch, French, and the British. In 1831 the territories were united as British Guiana. In the mid 20th Century British Guiana won independence and took the traditional name of Guyana. Guyana became a republic in 1970 and is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations.

Where to next?

 

I have several Venezuela and Brazil coins, as well as Barbados and Trinidad. This 1 gulden is in the pipeline, on the way here, from Suriname, right next door. Seller's picture.

 

Cayenne (French Guiana)

 

From modern day French Guiana we can go south into northern Brazil.

The obverse has an unusual (die attrition) cud error.

This is a 1948 Brazil 20 Centavos with Rui Barbosa on the obverse. The obverse die was at one time mis-aligned to the collar die during striking. This sheared-off a crescent from the edge of the obverse die. Subsequent strikes by the obverse die resulted in coins with the crescent shaped cud.

 

Guys, i don't have a speedboat ... i have to swim (doggie crawl)
By the time i find my coins from Falklands you will be in Japan ... eech

 

We will travel from Brazil to Argentina (quite close to The Falklands @ManfredNam.

This is an 1986 Argentina 10 Centavos coin. (The NGC label states 50 Centavos in error).

 

Chile

 

Going to jump directly across the Pacific Ocean to another continent (straight west from Chile to Australia).

 

New Zealand

 

Been too quiet here, so I am going to give it a bump to Fiji.
