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.
Junk bin pickings from the same trip. $1 in total. From top L: Philippines 1 Peso 1972 Spain 50 Pesetas 1975 France 25 Centimes 1904 (nice condition for junk) Iceland 5 Aurar 1931 (the lowest mintage date for this type) Chile 1 Peso 1942 Germany 10 Pfennig 1943 F (Stuttgart) Netherlands 1 Cent 1940 (oddly shiny -- cleaned?) Brazil 1 Cruzeiro 1956 (aluminum-brass, single-year type) Ecuador 10 Centavos 1946 Hungary 1 Fillér 1899 (I actually like the green patina. Wear is actually not too bad)
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.
