Panzermans top ten coins "World section"

Great array @panzerman. I really should pick one of the older ones as a favorite as that's where my interest now lies ... but as I continue looking I keep coming back to the Emperor Napoleon 40 Francs. So, Number 4 it is.

Thanks GDJMSP!
That coin album is beautifull!

I have now 900+ AV coins from all 27 centuries, it would be a monumental undertaking for a novice like me to do the same. But, it sure would be a nice project to undertake. One thing that is good, I never sell coins so would never have to worry about that, just keep on truckin....collecting Maybe I can find a tech saavy person to do it. I do not even have a smartphone

John, You never fail to amaze me with your exquisite coins, modern or ancient ! My favorites are the Albanian pattern & the Spanish Restoration 320 Reales of 1822. The Albanian 100 Franga Ar of 1928, designed by Giuseppi Romagnoli (Rome's finest coin designer) is breathtaking & probably a great rarity . I've never seen this pattern listed anywhere .

 

Thank you Al!
I agree, the Albanian PROVA is breathtaking. There seem to be quite a few of these in auctions, even though they only struck 50. My guess, all where put away in collections....coin is too nice to spend! I know the "Ancient forum members" must think I am insane to go after more recent coinage, but I just like them all. The Albanian 100 Frangi proves that. King Zogu almost looks a "Hollywood" film star, very dashing....compared to Roman Emperors like Nero/ Vitellius/ Titus/ Vespasian.....
My fav. are the Holy Roman Empire AV multiple Dukaten/ sadly most are unaffordable in mint state. There is a AV 25 Dukaten from Zurich 1740, WOW what a stunner.
