Victoria- anywhere, any year

Nice one! Exactly makes my point about the re-ruse of old silver coins in India.

Also note these are type 2 Rupees - the legend over the head is split whereas on my type 1 the legend is continuous. There is plenty of evidence that the 1840 coins were made for quite a few years - probably up until 1862 - so plenty of time for lots of variations to develop.

Thats pretty cool!

 

Got some Canadian tokens today, sorry for the quick and dirty pics

 

Lovely medal!

 

I scanned this in response to a message on another thread so I thought I would put it up here too.

 

And I will post the coin to which you posted yours.

 

I love the jubilee medal too. I had one in its original box and sold it. I wish I had kept it. The young Victoria was a beautiful woman (yes, and the old one too) and I do like the coins with her portrait. I just sent all my remaining Vics to auction, although I just bought a lot of 7 Canada 1 cent Victorias. I just can't help buying them I guess.

 

Visit to Worsley Hall, 1851, 52mm by Allen and Moore.

 

That is one stunner of a medallion! The artistry that allowed them to get such a range of colours in the copper is wonderful and rare. Even though it would be a "tangent" for me, I would have to keep that one if I had it.

 

Those are amazing medals. This is one of my favorites, both due to the design but also the toning from the presentation box. Another of the Diamond Jubilee medals:

 

Picked this one up from Atlas. It's a rare silver medal design from the Golden Jubilee in 1887. Diameter 39 mm, graded PCGS SP63.

Great medal! Like the toning.

 

This medal was engraved by A. Wyon for Victoria's 50th anniversary as queen in 1887. BHM 3291, 38mm.

 

A couple I have picked up in the last few days:
Victoria 1846 Sixpence - just cos its nice, and it has a lovely die crack that will appeal to the error colectors;
Victoria 1901 4 1/2 Piastre from Cyprus - because it is an unusual portrait that appears nowhere else that I know of, and because Four and a Half Piastre is such a weird denomination!

 

Victoria, visit to the City of London, 1837. BHM 1775, 55mm, encased in silver ring with glass lunettes.

 

Already represented, but I'm pleased with the token I just picked up.

 

I used to own this, but I have sold it:

 

Thats a beauty.
