Hi all. Here's the latest additions to the collection. The trade dollar is a copy of, one of the pattern coins, I'm sure. It was sold as a token. This is really fun stuff for me. I never really got into the world coins before. Man its a big world out there! I'm gleaning a lot of history from the descriptions and research...always on the hunt. I may slow down when I get my 60 coin album filled....best regards

 

On the Greek coin is Athena. You will generally see her with a full face helmet pushed back on her head like that. I suspect you could never wear it like that, it would fall off

 

Thanks, yes I agree. but looks cool. imagine how heavy those helmets were? and the other coin, with the stars and weird looking neck has been posed wrong in my picture. I noticed the 2 different star types ,and thought hummm... I think shes stargazing myself...

 

That is interesting with the two different stars. I don't collect Brazil, but I suspect someone would have a story for why there are two.

 

can you give me a name for this one? par excellent

 

I assume the gal on the front fits your "liberty", or "italia" motif, though I don't know her name. If you're hunting for one on ebay, search for "italy milan 1906" and you'll find it.

Very nice, those gals are great. thanks for the info.

 

I'm sorry, but trade dollar 1872 is not genuine. Alas!

 

nice coins. I got the Milan ordered. Man she don't come cheap either. But after all its only money...

 

Thanks, Yes, it was sold as a token. So I knew it was not legit

 

got this one today.

 

Hi all, got a few more in the post today. Disregard the other beauties. but buying great designs along the way... here's a few more. I love the pattern of this 1913... fun stuff. I have 40 or more still coming... so keep a lookout...

 

Hi All, Been trying to order all the coins, you have posted. Most appreciated. Can't find some, will look again every so often. Got a few more today... Here's a couple pics...

 

Hi everyone, got a few more to post. The collection is at 60 or so now. I,m still thinking ...if I should continue ? Or start another 60 coin album? Fun stuff. I will add all the American liberty coins I have, after ... best regards to all...

 

Nice collection going. Maybe focus on Silver or Bronze coins. Or a certain denomination to bring the collection together. Need to have some closure.

 

Thanks, sounds like a good plan

 

Marianna from Spain (Republican Government. Period of Civil War). One of my favourite coins.

 

Euzcadi or Viscayan Republic (autonomous territory in north central Spain since October 8 1936 till June 18 1937). It was period of Spanish Civil War. Euzcadi was conquered by fascist troops of Francisco Franco. They released only this couple of coins - 1 peseta & 2 pesetas. Both were struck in Brussels Mint (Belgium). Viscayan Republic existed only 8 monthes, but these coins were in circulation.

 

Hi thanks, Really interesting history to those coins. I'm going to order these. I found several for sale. One seller ,mentioned the Bask region on the description.
