The one that got me hooked on Mexican 8 Reales. Words well played since this is the rarer upright eagle and not the hookneck although more popular and a lot easier to locate. Seems based on NGC population reports this one is 3-4 times rarer than the hookneck. It is also the 1st coin of a new series and what started the eagle having his head straight upwards. There are 2 versions (price guide says yes but I have yet to see the other) this one the square tail. I have yet to see the other type.

PCGS has a few under that pcgs number, but i'm not sure they are actually round tails.
They all look the same to me maybe I am missing something they all seem to be square tail. Maybe the last one is I have no idea. I thought they would be very different looking.
This coin commemorates the holodomor of 1930's in Ukraine. The text on reverse reads "Holodomor - genocide of the Ukrainian people. The little girl is a monument by Pecherska Lavra in Kyiv/Kiev. This coin was purchased at a bank when I lived there.

Those British decimal coins (and U.S. Seated Dollars) always make me think I'm looking at a woman in a wheelchair at first glance, for some reason, with their large shields propped up by their sides..............
Imagine if the US Mint released a coin in a yearly series which has spanned for decades and only minted 481 of them? Well here you go; a 2 Sheqalim from Israel and it is affordable to any collector.
Here is a very rare 1/2 Reales from Mexico I see NGC only ever graded 4 total and PCGS only 1 total. I am sure there are some out there non graded as well. It is nicer in person no greenish areas it's a nice coin for it's age.
Since we are posting some Spanish coins here is a piece that has the date "1204"
in Roman numerals. MCCIIII. At the time Spain was using a calendar system
introduced by Caesar Augustus in what is now 38 B.C. The above coin was actually
minted 1166 A.D. by the calendar we use today.

PCGS has a few under that pcgs number, but i'm not sure they are actually round tails.
Here's one from Ex: Joe Bliden Ex: Nogales Collection that sold on Heritage in 2013 that looks like it might be a round tail:

For the copper Victoria Penny set I believe the key is the 1860/59 Copper coin.
Sorry I meant in reference to the 1913 Shilling
