Monkeys, I was, about, maybe 'morrow, going t post my 10 Zlotych 1932, same design.
Stunning coins

 

Nepal 2 rupee

 

more!

 

For a coin from the 1950s, that is a pretty innovative design. Maybe not actually beautiful but the text bits "stamped" into the piece look interesting ...

KM 177 BOLIVIA 50 Centavos 1909 H (medio Boliviano). Good strike uncirculated. Should grade MS63. Nice buy for 30 US.

 

not nearly as in the same condition.

 

more odd balls....

 

And one you do not see everyday, only two years, who is it?

 

Not sure who the model was, but the reverse design - with the woman planting a small linden tree - was in use for many years. It's just that the country name and CoA varied ...

This type of 1 koruna coin was first issued between 1957 and 1960, and looked like this. When the country name was changed from CSR to CSSR, it was modified, and that type was minted between 1962 and 1990. Your type was used for the CSFR coins, in 1991 and 1992, so two years indeed.

Why a linden tree? That has a special relevance in several Slavic countries, see here. And the design featuring a woman planting a small tree, as a symbol, can be found on coins from several countries. In Germany for example it was a little oak tree.

KM 55.2 Ecuador 1915-BIRM 1/2 Decimo (5 centavos) struck at the Heaton Mint in Birmingham, England.

Let's see, a $65,000 coin that isn't authenticated by a 3rd party. What could possibly go wrong?

 

I agree, lekker loco.

 

One thing I learned about South Americans coins due US Army as I spent a lot of my Army in Ecuador +Peru.



Is that a lot south American country's.

From 1-????-1945 they used a lot of mints and some not in their homeland. I guess that is why I like to find the old old and silver and some copper coins

 

Nice half mark from ebay. Looks like the seller is a new member here as well.

I had to put some shadow on these pictures in order to get some contrast since the coin is blast white and has no obvious wear or damage. It also has a beautiful cartwheel. Only 4 specimens have been graded by the NGC with MS63 being the top. This coin might just make that grade or better. The 1895 is more commonly found with the 1897 being rare.
