I've been sorting out what I have in my collection and saw I had an old Dansco New Guinea coin album. This was a somewhat scarce album when I bought it a few years ago at a bargain. Not too bad except the folder itself is more than 50 years old and the mintage figure seems to be wrong. I personally don't like the design itself since you can only view the coins on just one side. This is more like a white elephant. https://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/new_guinea So I decided to re-design the album. I probably got a hang of how to make digital coin albums much faster than what I was used to. https://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/new_guinea_coin_album_1935_45 I guess the beauty of this set is that all coins are very affordable except the 1929 coins which did not circulate. I admit that I wasn't aware of New Guinea's history until I did some reading. Please feel free to share some of your New Guinea coins!
One of the better albums that you have made, gx! That was a very nice decision to make this one: Simple, and all on one page! Just love it! Okay, now onto tackling the coins of China! Embrace the challenge!
Nice. Something I'd like to own someday is a German New Guinea coin. I wasn't aware until recently but apparently Germany possessed the island for a brief time and there are one or two coins from there. Very rare though.
I have seen the silver and copper German New Guinea coins down here in some of the higher end coin shops. Quite beautiful coins however expensive in any condition. I guess there's a strong interest here in Australia as it was a German colony which in turn was administrated by Australia. I'm also aware that there are gold versions as well, which is excessively rare.
