[Game] World Coins Time Machine… Counting Backward by Year! (Plus Prize Coin)

St. Helena, half penny, 1821. I read that a lot of these were made and they were used for a long time. The obverse looks like EIC Design, probably Soho mint.

That is a very artistic design, super skillful engraving work. I may as well upload another 1821...a British farthing.

The further we go back in time/ the more beautifull the engraved designs/ they had great mint masters/ engravers from 1650-1800/ esp. the coinage from the Holy Roman Empire/ German States.

My only 1821
Fav. George IV design....he looks like Roman Emperor Domitian. Off to work...

 

Give 'em hell John. Think I have more 1821...Something from German States, not real sure what this is...spreadsheet says Frankfurt am Main 1 heller. Eagle looks like Achen.

 

Spain Mallorca 1821 30 Sueldos


George IV 1821 dated Coronation medal

 

I can't forget this one even though it is a US coin.

 

Nice, coin nut! It definitely is Frankfurt - https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces9155.html. Yours is in much better condition than my 1821 Frankfurt am Main . . .

 

A small selection of 1821 dated coins.

GB Crown,
GB Sixpence
GB Halfcrown
Brazil 10 Reis
St Helena Half penny:

 

Nice/ the USA struck way nicer coins in 1800s/1700s!!!!!
Fact most "modern" coins are plain ugly/ except for Great Britain/ they still use classic designs.

 

Some assorted Netherlands East Indies 1821. Not the prettiest of coins, still fit in with my VOC collection and have some history about them.

 

Kingdom of Prussia - Medal - 1821 - Rebuilding of the Berlin Theater

 

1820 time:
Kingdom of France - Medal - 1820 - Assassination of Charles Ferdinand duc de Berry

 

OK - 1820:
Two GB Halfcrowns - we changed monarch that year and unusually coins were issued with both heads. Then a Russian Poltina and a tea token with the 1820 date, though referring to the date of establishment of the company.

 

Two 1820s . . .

First an 1820 shilling/12-pence graced with Georg III. I did not know 1820 was two kings in one year on the coins.


Then a Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, or Saalfeld for short, one pfennig. Ernst I was the duke (ruled 1806 through 1826). She's seen some use, heh?

 

Yes - but only for the halfcrown. There are no 1820 George IV examples in any of the other denominations as far as I know.
