    An impression in horn of the obverse of T. Pingo’s medal for George III's Accession, 1760, 51mm. (cf. BHM.3+; Eimer 683; Eimer, Pingo 17-19).The incuse horn impressions were used to make so-called "straw pictures".

    The previous post got me to looking at Canadian tokens. I hope to not go too far down this rabbit hole. Another couple off of eBay last night.

    May as well go for it, there probably aren't that many different Canadian tokens. I have a dozen or two of them and like them all right well. A fellow could do worse with a new addiction. I said that to myself about the ZAR coins, and the VOC duits, and the Aachen XII hellers......and then you get die varieties, oh no...

    Here is a 1792 Madrid Spanish escudo I just won in a Spanish auction (Soler y Llach). I already have a half-escudo from a bit earlier, but just like that coin, this one has the right orange-toned look I love on old gold. I couldn't resist giving it a bid, and was slightly surprised to find I had won.

    Australia florin, Canberra type, 1927(m).

    I've just always liked this type, for some reason. Never had one until now. Prices seem to be all over the place, but I reckoned this PCGS MS64 was the best one for my money. I started comparison shopping three venues after finding a PCGS MS63+ I liked. It had slightly more mottled toning than this 64, which was only $20-ish more expensive than the 63+ had been.

    This coin was a recent gift from a friend whose father traveled for the World Bank. Sort of fits this theme. IMG_4367 (2).JPG IMG_4368 (2).JPG

    Nice acquisition, Rob. This happens to be my #1 favorite Australian coin. I have a lovely UNC example that I intend to get graded one of these days.
