    Hannover, 2/3 Thaler, 1829, George IV
    Holed, but a cheap way to pick up an example of the type. A little over 2x melt.

    Guatemala, 1/4 Quetzal, 1925
    How much do they like the quetzal bird?
    Not only do you get one on each side, but they named the currency after it.

    Denmark, 2 Skilling Dansk, 1805, Christian VII, .250 Billon
    I like coins from the Napoleonic Era (roughly, 1799-1815).
    Between wars, inflations, changes in government and other upheavals, there was a lot going on monetarily as well as politically. Probably would not have been a fun time to live through, but interesting to learn about.

    Syria 1965 10 Qirsh, 1962 5 Qirsh, 1962 2 1/2 Qirsh
    Pretty modern for me, but I though the types were interesting and I didn't own any.
    $1 for the three. And I like coins with mixed number denominations like the 2 1/2.
