Portugal
AV 4 Escudos 1830
Lisboa Mint
Miguel I 1828-32

 

That portuguese coin is one of my absolute dream coins. I love this portrait of King Miguel and the elegant coat of arms on the reverse. Its really sad that the King only minted his portrait on gold coins (at least from my budget perspective).

 

I like Portuguese/ Brazilian coins a lot. From my view they are more affordable in high quality/ have low mintages/ then British/ other European ones.

 

Peru
AV 2 Escudos 1829-JM

 

All I have for 1829 are British - Farthing, Sixpence and Half crown:

 

Egypt/Ottoman Empire
AV 1/2 Hayriye Altin AH 1223/22 (1828/9)
Misr Mint
Mahmud II 1808-39
NOTE: NGC got it wrong/ its not a 1/2 Zeri Mahbub/ but a 1/2 Hayriye Altin. Also some rare AV coins are affordable/ this one cost me $228 including fees.

To compliment wittwolf's coin from Sardinia....

A few non GB coins from me for a change. (My 1828 Three T GB examples are too ropey to post!) One Brazil, one Argentina (Buenos Aires) and one French:

 

I see I have two from 1828. Kutch AH1234-VS1885 AR kori and Netherlands 1 cent.

 

I guess we can go to 1827!

Portugal
AV 3200 Reis 1827
Lisboa Mint
Pedro IV 1826-27
mintage 1713 exs

 

OK - will do. All I have are British. In order: Shilling, Sixpence, Penny, Halfpenny, Farthing and Third farthing. Of these the trickiest to get hold of is the sixpence - took me years before I found one at an affordable price!
The 1827 penny is rated very scarce and prices much higher in the books because the bulk of the issue was sent to Australia. A lot were lost in shipwrecks and those that survived are badly corroded by the salt air in shipping.

 

Dang, nice spread of GB coins there, Paddy! All I have for 1827 is a single piece, another Nederlanden 1 cent.

 

Kingdom of France - Medal - 1827 - Visit of King Charles X. to the city of Douai
