I really like the reverse on this one, an idyllic view of South Pacific island life

 

Nice ones! Lordmarcovan

 

Here is couple of my examples I got recently....5 Dukaten Klippe/ Salzburg/ AV 4 Dukaten Austro-Hungarian Empire

 

That's panzerman, nothing but the best!

 

San Marino .917 gold spider...low mintage: 9,000



very rare Slovakia proof silver beetle cross. mintage: 1,800



a 15 year hunt on Ebay for this coin. where it is black on the coin has a mirror reflection.

 

Here is my contribution, a crown sized Thai coin. I love the design on the obverse and reverse!!

what an amazing grade too. envy is the word.

 

Alright, I'll join the party with a few entries. This thread has been super-fun to watch.

This first medal counts as "unique" as far as I can tell. I have never seen another one with the same obverse/reverse design pairing, though there are different medals that pair each side with different reverses. I would love for somebody to prove me wrong and show me another one like this.

Martin Luther/Philipp Melanchthon, both early Protestant Reformers.
Old, probably late 16th or early 17th century, high relief.

 

And here are a few beautiful/cool ones.


1817, Martin Luther and the 300th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. The reverse design. Silver, nice toning.



This one is an 1885 bronze medal from Frankfurt commemorating shelter provided to Dutch Protestants. Note how Frankfurt is depicted on the right side of the medal with the city-wall crown. This one is just flat out charming.


Finally, another Protestant Reformation commemorative from 1717, Nurnberg. Obverse depicts Martin Luther, and reverse depicts the New Jerusalem. Kinda cool city-view thaler(ish) medal.

 

Thanks!

 

Another Crown, probably my favorite of my British coins in my collection, loved it since I got it.

 

I take it you aren't representing ugly here? Quite nice, all of them.

 

Meaning no offense, @GDJMSP, the 1821 farthing looks a bit odd to me. I have never noticed Britannia having such chubby cheeks and childlike appearance. Perhaps all such coins I have seen were more worn than yours? I think I also have an 1821 farthing...let me see. An 1823 as well.

 

Here is one of my favorite "modern" issues
AV 4 Dukaten 1931 Belgrade Mint
King Alexander I/ Queen Sophia of Yugoslavia

Note: After Yugoslavia was created in 1918 at Versailles. The Serbs who were most responsible for WW1 were given large territories from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Serbian King now ruled Yugoslavia. Alexander an authocratic ruler, he was assasinated in Paris in 1934.
