World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

RSFSR coins are 1921-1923, USSR is 1923-1991. You have a very early USSR poltinnik. The equivalent RSFSR coin would be an AR 50 Kopecks (1921-1922) Y#83. The emblem is a bit different; it will have the hammer and sickle surrounded by wheat and no ribbon. If you look at your poltinnik - each fold of the ribbon going across the wheat sheafs represents a country in the USSR. As the Soviet Union grew with more member states/satellites, the emblem changed to introduce more folds. The key takeaway here is if you see the ribbon it is not RSFSR.

Not a chance I would have recognized that on my own, but you're right, for-sure an elephant. Interesting story, the Sunga Kingdom, especially it's near spontaneous disintegration around 75 BC.

 

Thanks! Didn't know that!

 

Here's two new 3 marks from Prussia and Saxony. They have more luster in hand than I can get in the photos.

 

ND (1912) Republic of China, 1st issue, 10 cash, Y 301.5

 

A 1941 from the Netherlands with a bit of silver. I can't remember where or when I got the darn coin. Age is 'kickin in'!
Take care C.T. crew.

 

VS1955/AD1898 Kutch-Bhuj mint, AR 2 1/2 kori.

 

My first coin from Nicaragua.

 

And it's a really nice one too!

Russia: copper 5-Kopecks of Catherine the Great, 1769-EM, Ekaterinburg mint

Hungarian 1914 KB Korona. Striked in Kremnitz (now Slovakia). How would you grade it? Will it go on MS?

My first 2021 foreign coin, a 2 Euro from Spain commemorating the Historic City of Toledo.

 

Malta 2021

I got this Puerto Rico 5 centavos among many other coins I picked up on a recent visit to my favorite coin shop.

 

The reverse of this Brazil 10 Reid 1822 is pretty nice. Too bad someone cleaned a part of the obverse and there is an old scratch and verdigris on the obverse.

Sellers pics.

 

1923 M (Melbourne) Sovereign. This one looks nice enough to be in panzerman's collection!

 

AU55+ but can't tell about the luster from the photos.

 

Finally acquired a Cuban Peso.
