@Stork that's a beautiful 2 Escudos, Cathy!

 

Halfcrown. Details coins need some lovin too.

 

1825 1/4 stuiver, Dutch East Indies, Sumatra I think

 

Shoot, "details" or not that's a heck of a lot better than any half crowns I own from that era. I'd rather have that than the worn out ones where you can't see any details.

 

1825. I present Brazil, Great Britain, Canada and Prussia.

 

I agree, that is a fine looking half crown!

Italian States 1825 10 Tornesi

This 1825 Italian States is quite worn but it is my only example of the “Tornesi” monetary unit. There was a monetary reform a dozen years before this coin was minted. I believe that in 1825, one Tornesi = 6 Cavalli and 240 Tornesi = 120 Grana = 1 Piastre. This particular coin was used in the Italian States of Naples & Sicily. I don’t know much of the history of this area & coinage. If someone would like to chime-in, of course it would be appreciated.

 

Well, I got some examples from 1825
