Post Beautiful Women

The third one from the bottom left side, first page
is beyond beautiful. She should have her own album.

I want one of these too! Great pickup!

 

Interesting design indeed. Side note (not that it matters much) - the Mint of Saxony was in Muldenhütten, near Freiberg, at that time.

Ooops, my bad - but that it was minted in Moldyhut makes it all the more interesting. And these days that name is appropriate from having seen pictures of what the mint looks like nowadays. I really want to find some of the Soviet occupation coinage that was struck there and the early GDR pieces that were struck through 1952.

 

Got this beautiful woman for $0.50 on Tuesday. Best fiddy cents I have ever spent.

 

I bought one of those when I was a kid - and now I want to find some in original red BU - they are a very lovely design.

 

Can get a red gem for about $12 if you look for them. Terrific design in any case.

 

Nice, looks to be in the same shape as mine.

Hello juantrillo,

Thank you for resurrecting this thread. I just viewed all 22 pages & there is certainly no shortage of beautiful women on coins. Here are some additional ladies from my collection:

Latvia maiden
USA Bust Quarter
Britain’s Victoria the Empress
Italy’s young girl in medieval dress
USA Seated Liberty

 

I'm a bit late here, but nice coin. It sort of has an art deco look to it and the mintage is only 1500, seems like a great find.

 

Hello Yarm,
Today I had fun reviewing all 23 pages of this thread. I think I like your medal in post #333 the best. If you know of one that is available, please let me know about it.

 

Heck, that gal's only allegorical. Here's my real heartthrob!

 

The Algerian 100 F and other denominations were all made in substantial numbers; more
than 21,000,000 for the 100 F alone. The reason they're tough is people didn't save any
of them and then, apparently, the government melted them down after years of circulation.
This leaves only a few that escaped the melting pot (mostly exported coins) and specimens
that were saved by die hard coin collectors who couldn't even be dissuaded by base metal
and huge mintages.

A lot of coins like this are extremely hard to find because of the high mintage.

 

Yarm who made that medal in post #333?

 

France 10 centimes... 1898

 

J. Pinches produced this obverse for BHM 2549. The design continued to be used for various prize medals throughout the 19th century.

 

Interestingly Pinches was later acquired by the Franklin Mint ... see the first paragraph here.
