thai_coin_collector is my ig is others want to add me and I want to add more world crown collectors as well.

 

1902 Iran (Persia) 5000 dinars

 

1907 S US-Philippines 1 peso. This is the one I meant to post earlier, when I mistakenly posted a 50 cent piece.

 

1908 French Indo China 1 Piastre de Commerce. I wonder if it would be OK to post US silver dollars here? I know it says "world", and perhaps I am not sure if the US is in the world.

 

As OP I say YES.

I wonder what the intended meaning of that pointed "demon tail" on the obverse of that French Indo-China trade piastre is!

 

Good question, that "demon tail" Could it be the fluke of an anchor? The woman is called Marianne, and I really doubt she sports such a tail. OK, here is one I have been wanting to post, as I just love King Edward VII. 1907 Straits Settlements one dollar.

 

My records show that I have posted that 1907 SS dollar before, but a search does now show it. So for now I will let it stand, and probably post some US silver later.

 

That's actually not a "demon tail". It's the fluke of an anchor.
But I see how that could be construed.

Do you see what she is resting her arm on? It's the tiller of a boat.

Look to the right of the tiller. Do you see that rectangular piece with a band across it, peeking out from behind her robes? That is the top cross-piece of the anchor.

I really like these coins. I have several. They are very often counterfeited. I just sent one back to the seller because it was a fake. It was only 25% silver.
I also just won several 10 and 20 Centimes pieces with the same obverse and reverse designs.

 

Ah, yes, of course - the right edge. I can just see the top of the anchor sticking out from behind Marianne a bit above.

 

Another day, another dollar. 1878 S US silver dollar

 

Purchased at a recent local show. I've been looking to buy an early French Directory 5 franc (the Bourdeaux mintmark is a nice bonus) and a Napoleon the III 5 franc:




These two add to my slowly expanding silver French 5 franc type set.

I already have several Third Republic coins (1870s), a Louis XVIII, Louis-Phillipe, early 1960s small diameter 5 Franc and late 1960s crown size ones.

These are a really fun type. It helps that many 19th century years are effectively as abundant as USA Morgan dollars.

 

Yes, I agree and also like those and have several of those types.
Thanks for posting.

 

1908 S US-Philippines 1 peso

 

I like circulated coins with super-clean fields like that.
