Here is my latest pick-ups. I nick'd them for 'bout 12 quid.

Tibet 1 Sho 1932-1942


Manchoukuo 1 Chiao 1940



Manchoukuo 5 Li 1934



Manchoukuo 1 Fen 1934

 

I collect (at least) one coin from every country / every ruler in the world!

 

@jlblonde What are the coin IDs?

 

Sorry 'bout that. Just posted the info above the coin in my earlier reply.

 

The Tibet piece is interesting. Is that the actual surfaces? oxidized or was it painted? How is it that red?

 

I dunno. In hand, the brown and red seem to be blended in together.

 

I had a cent that was red. Someone told me it was probably in some dirt. That might do it

 

Just picked this one up today.

 

I would like to continue the discussion of the world coins.

Here's a nice one, to me at least.

 

My dear friends, I like a world coins too. When I hold any coin in my hand, I try to imagine all of a people which held it in their hands before. Each of a coin is a piece of world history for me.
When I saw your koin from Tibet, I imagined a monks who held it...

 

Here's one you'll like Eugene ....A 1907 S one Pesos Philippine issue. 10,278,000 Montage however . ..The advance of the Japanese forces in 1942 prompted removal of much of the treasury 's bullion to the US. More than 15 million pesos remained dated from 1907-1912. To make sure the coins did not fall into the hands of the Japanese they were crated and dumped into Manila ' s Caballero bay to prevent capture . Only partially recovered after the war most coins were badly corroded.

 

Here's one of my favorite 1937 Ireland from my dear old Irish buddy Dave Mac. Maybe this will make him show up and post.... you know what they say ... speak of the devil

 

Last one an 1871 Libertad..

 

I had a horse when I was a kid. Wild beast he was, couldn't saddle him. Damn thing near killed me. Stupid horse! He was the only one we couldn't tame.
