<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 25252539, member: 25270&quot;]One thing that I&#039;m interested in is coins from countries that only issued a few different coins. Either they issued one coin and then not another for a century or two or they issued one or two coins once or twice and that was it. A lot of times this happens in small, lightly populated islands or obscure colonies. Here are some in my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>1788 Barbados 1 penny. No other coins issued until the 1970s.</p><p>1793 Bermuda 1 penny. Same as Barbados. No other coins until 1970s. </p><p>1821 St. Helena and Ascension half penny. No other coins until late 1900s.</p><p>1836 Antigua farthing. As far as I know no other circulating coins were ever made specifically for this island.</p><p>1852 Madeira 10 reis. Very few coins made for this little Portuguese island.</p><p>1890 Eritrea 1 lire. Only a few different coins issued in 1890s under Italian occupation. One more issued in 1918 and then nothing until 1990s. </p><p>1894 German New Guinea 1 and 10 pfennig. Germany issued one coin set for this year and never again. Other New Guinea coins come in 1930s under British control.</p><p>1896 Puerto Rico 5 and 10 centavos. Only one series of coins issued by Spanish authorities in 1890s. All other coins for Puerto Rico were countermarked coins from other nations.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1610660[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1610661[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1610662[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1610663[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1610664[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1610665[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1610666[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1610667[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1610668[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1610669[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
