With everyone else focusing on silver, I spent the afternoon quietly digging through the local dealer's foreign coin bin, where everything is 25 cents each. I made some awesome finds. I haven't had a chance to look them up, but among the highlights in my opinion are these: Chile 20 centavos 1925 2 ore Sweden? 1886 1907 Mexico 5 centavos 1912 Mexico 1 Centavo 1883 20 reis Brazil or Portugal 1805 20 stuber? country unknown (one of the German states or Austria I believe 1839A einen thaler (Germany or Austria) 1882 Switzerland 5 (rappen?) 1878 Netherlands 1 cent 1948 Curacao 5 cents 1882 Hungary 1 (something) 1851 4 pfenning 1878 Spain 10 centavos 1862 2 cents Luxembourg or Netherlands I think 1914 Mexico 5 centavos 1912 Greece 10 Lepta? 1950 Mexico 25 centavos (this should be partly silver) 1864 1/2 Kreuzer Monaco 1 franc (no date) 1830 1 kreuzer 1894 Italy 10 centesimi 1935 British 6 pence (silver) 1823 British halfpenny or farthing 1951 Mexico 25 cents (silver) 1924 Romania 2 Lei 1900 Mexico 1 centavo 1863A 3 pfenning 1872 1 pfenning 1894 2 ore Denmark? 1856 2 Pfennig I also got a bunch of kriegsgeld and post-WWI coinage issued by German towns and states. I have no idea if it's worth anything or not. And there's a 1917 coin that says "krolestwo polskie 5 fenigow" that I am very curious about. So how did I do?
I'd like to share pics but it just takes too long. Though there will probably be some I have questions about.
Kingdom of Poland was proclaimed in 1916 by German and Austrian-Hungarian occupation administrations on the territory of "Russian" Poland. This Kingdom was annuled in 1918. This is a coins of the KoP.
My Polish coin looks just like yours but it is a 5 Fenigow. I looked it up and was disappointed to find out it's pretty common. I've never seen one before.
I just wanted to share this one because I think it's really cool. Australia 1 dollar 1995. I love the kangaroo parade.
