Here are some of my favorites, all British though. Some of the overseas examples are really exquisite, I just haven't picked any up.

Young Head Sixpence



Gothic Florin



Jubilee Head Sixpence



Veiled Head Penny

 

I wish I had some pics of my Vickies . I love your Florin and sixpence .

 

Last year...

 

Here's my crown, lousy scan but it's handy so I will post it.

 

Here is an 1840 Rupee:

 

Will try and scan my 1847 Gothic Crown but at present it is in the bank and I'm travelling . So this one will have to do for now???

 

Love it. This is one on my wish list.

 

Wow, you guys are posting some nice pictures. Thanks. When I was working in India about five years ago, I looked for some coins, pre-Indian Independence and all I could find was fake crowns, likely made in China. Even a worn penny or six-pence would have made a nice souvenir. Guy selling the crown on the street 'gave me his word it was real'! ha. lifted it in my hand and wasn't silver, heavier than Aluminum, perhaps somekind of pewter. - anyway, nice coins here.

 

Some of mine.

 

Here are my Vickies:

 

I have tons more Vickies but nothing like these. Love the Jubilee Medal and the Copper Proof reverse.

 

What is the story on that 1879-dated crown struck in 2000? it and the rest are beautiful

 

One could argue that coinage from the Victorian era are some of the most beautiful ever minted.

 

Yeah, that one is nice!

 

It is one of many "fantasy" crowns issued around 2000-2001. They are extremely high quality, relatively low mintage, and were issued by the INA (International Numismatic Association) under the term "retro patterns" -- also known by some as the Spink Patina Retro Patterns, after the Spink sale in July 2001 where many were sold.

 

Awesome coins , put my Vickies to shame . Beautiful toning too .

 

Couple I got today, Straits mintage of 94,000



1 year type, mintage of 128,000

 

Very suprised there's not been any Canadian coins yet. Let's change that.











Nice scarce jersey issue.



Something a bit different from your usual Indian rupees, it's the scarcer of the two issues too


And lastly the most beautiful Canadian provincial token



I'll have more that's for sure I'll have to take a look and see if any are worth posting tomorrow. Great thread
