The most valuable Islamic coins are those struck in muslim Spain under the taifa kings ( 11th century ), it is nearly impossible to find the silver ones, how about the gold !!

 

England's got a few;

Anglo-Saxon gold coins fetch a fair amount, just below those are Henry III gold pennies from the 1200s that fetch something like £250,000. Of course 1933 pennies alway make a nice amount.

 

The record for Canada is the 1911 dollar which went for over a million in 1998.

The record for Great Britain is the unique gold penny of Coenwulf.which recently sold to the British Museum for around 300,000 pounds.

 

Condor101,the 1911 Canadian silver $1 is a pattern coin of the same design as the King George V silver 50c.
coins.As to the Anglo-Saxon gold penny of Ceonwulf,I had heard that a coin dealer from America was the successful bidder,but the British Government decided to ban the export of the coin.

Thanks,Doug.Is US$650,00 equal to 300,000 Pounds Sterling?

Aidan.

 

$650,000 for a penny. Man talk about inflation.

 

Andy,this is a gold coin.

Andy,this is an Anglo-Saxon English gold coin.Although it was known as a gold 'Penny',its actual denomination is unknown.Perhaps it is the mysterious Mancus that is occasionally a reference to.

Doug,I was right about the Anglo-Saxon gold coin.It is a Mancus.

The Canadian 1911 $1 is an oddity as it's sale price has had quite a large high-low spread when you've looked at it's hammer price over the past 2-3 decades.

 

Well I think it has only sold twice, maybe three times, over the past three decades hasn't it?

 

I'm pretty sure in the past 10 years it's changed hands at least 3 times.

 

From Honduras

In Honduras the 20 Pesos gold from 1888 an other dates, are around $20,000 US$, I only know that the Banco Central de Honduras ( Honduras Central Bank) have one.
