1938 Sweden 2 Kroner. It commemorates the 300th anniversary of the first ship of Swedish immigrants to land in America. The ship is same one on thats on the 1936 Delaware commemorative half (@green18 has a pic a few posts back)

 

The Great Tea Race of 1866! Nice coin with a really exciting story behind it. My pic sucks but the second one (taken from the web) shows the intricate details in ultra high relief. Hope your daughter likes it and if she has time, tell her to read up on the story. Thanks.




Notice the dolphins swimming alongside the ship?

 

Hey.. I knew there was a thread with the same topic!

Hello,
here a ship from Portugal

and another one from South Africa

 

The world's first ironclad ship! It's a bit tough to collect them all, but I have many of them. Here's a write-up that I did:

I own one of these, but not this one in particular:

 

Roman Imperiatorial
Marc Antony 32-31 BCE
AR Denarius
Legio X Equestris - Caesar's Legion
'B' and other bankers marks
Eagle - Aquila, and Galley Standards
RImp Marc Antony 32-31 BCE AR Legio X Equestris - Caesar Denarius B bankers mark Eagle Galley Standards

It is a famous story how Caesar mounted his Legio X as a ruse during a parley with the German King Ariovistus. There is a lot more to the story than this Wiki article, and you can imagine how "prepared" foot Legionaries were when they were in the saddle... But, Caesar pulled it off to impress on the Germans a WHOLE MOUNTED TENTH LEGION.

Wow @dwhiz !! Beautiful coin!
I hope you don't mind me asking. How much did that baby set you back?
I'm an interested buyer. If only I had the money. It's tough living off SSD, isn't it?
That's why I grow my own Cannabis . Okay. Too much said.

 

I'll check after I get back from having some blood work.
I like to go early due to the fasting requirement

 

Okay.
On another note. Fasting stinks, especially if you have Diabetes like I do. Anyone have diabetes?
