It seems that these two coins were struck with the same obv die 12 years apart. The 1920 just seems to have more die cracks. What do you think?

 

Yep never saw one of these before.

 

Also got these nice ones with and without dash below S in cents. Wonder why they called it cents and not centavos?

 

:thumb:Nice set + sadly a farewell to Canadian penny I have my set still in the box and in my bank box sealed.
:yes: I am glad you showed off yours:thumb: Coinstuck!!!.

 

That bird looks large and proud. Nice ones!

Here's a new beauty, 1948 5 Peso. Love how Mexico makes it known what the silver purity is on these and the Reales.

 

kookoox, that is super cool with the Aztec warrior!

 

Nah, I don't think they did. Guess it is used as an abbreviation, hence the smaller "s".

That sounds reasonable. Cool thanx.

 

Amazing how difficult it was finding a current circulting coin in this condition. Took me 6 months to find this one. Maybe I suck at searching.

 

Here are two similar abbreviations from Belgium, one in Dutch, one in French. But I came across these while searching for something else, so they are not among my newest acquisitions.

Great links thanx.

 

:devil:12/21/2012 this not new just one I had in my world book.

 

That is simply beautiful.

 

Had to get one of these after seeing all of the beautiful Liras. Has a slight rim ding but I took that in consideration when negotiating the price. Very happy with the coin.

 

One of the most beautiful medal obverses that I have seen. Most beautiful woman post!
