I did it again.....bought some stuff I really don't collect or know much about but with the Chinese getting richer by the second and keen on buying back their heritage, I thought they can only appreciate in a few years.... Hope I'm right

Kiangsi. Kuang-hsü 10 Cash ND (c. 1902) XF45 Brown PCGS, KM-Y150.5.




AND

Sinkiang. Republic Sar (Tael) Year 6 (1917) AU53 PCGS, Tihwa mint

 

From the Holy Land under British Mandate

 

This one was too tempting to pass

NEPAL Shah Dynasty. Tribhuvana Bir Bikram gold Mohar VS 1983 (1926) MS65 NGC

 

And this fits in nicely with the 1935 Waitangi Crown I acquired sometime back

New Zealand George V Proof Waitangi 1/2 Crown 1935 PR65 NGC

 

What a well struck Half Crown!! The coat of arms and filigree on the reverse is razor sharp!

 

I have the business strike of that New Zealand 1/2 crown. Sadly, in a much lower grade. But even in VF, it's still a lovely coin.

 

You're both right....it is a lovely design with a lot of detail.....can't wait to have it delivered now

 

I just picked up a nice lot of Irish Gunmoney. These 2 are my favorites.

 

Thailand Baht

 

Pick this up like the way it looks

 

Uh, can someone please explain what these coins are? Not many people on this planet can read that script.

 

They're from Kazakhstan.

Square Rupee of Akbar I


Jalal al-Din Muhammad Akbar (963-1014 AH / 1556 - 1605 A.D.)
AR Rupee
INDIA, Mughal Empire
10.96g

 

Probably more of an "ancient", but I usually don't wander into that room. The seller had this identified completely wrong but the bull and horseman made it easy to identify. I think it is a jital of the Shahi Kings with the inscription Sri Samanta Deva from about 850-1000 A.D. (I found that info on Doug Smith's website) https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/bh.html

 

1792 Galle (Ceylon) 2 stuiver dump

 

Got this back from NGC this morning. It came back PF69 Ultra Cameo. Wish it graded a 70 but 69 is "almost" there and I am happy with that. I'll enjoy a nice profit if and when I ever decide to sell.
