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..............

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:

A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

Nice coin. Is this the key in the series?

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
