This has the potential to be an interesting thread. Perhaps you should also start a thread under the same title on Cointalk once service is restored over there. I'm sure you'd probably receive more interest over there.

Yeah, that was the plan. I'm pretty bored today honestly. I know for sure people would like it more there.

I think this qualifies as Eastern Europe. It was part of the Communist Bloc in the late 1940s.

Not the world's best pics or the highest grade coins I'm afraid, but here's what I can contribute.

Hi Bidask:

I don't post here much, really at all, I am a lurker.
Replying a little late, so forgive me.

I have not seen a gem 5 lati. I think the type, even in the best examples I've seen, appear to have a type of design that seems to present what looks like hairlines on original coins. Mine has been cleaned, but even MS examples show a little bit of odd surfaces.

Thanks for posting

Brilliant. I have the whole set, interesting to see yours slabbed. How did that end up? Interesting. did you submit?

Wow, looked up the cert number, and saw your registry set. I was incredibly impressed with your selection of woman on coins, brilliant set!

bramn8r

I have this one Transnistria coin, didn't go for the set. My set registry "100 Greatest Women on Coins" has 9 coins at our host, waiting, waiting. The set should be near 100%, soon.

Sorry for the mish mash of photo styles. Just pulling from my old shots. Baltic vs. Balkan vs. Eastern Europe...see how many I can post without getting to my favorite

Apparently, six.
and maybe not the usual ones I post:

@Stork very nice coins!

Rexford

Croatia. Zagreb mint. Stephen V (King of Hungary and Croatia) (1270-1272) Denar. 17mm. 1.09gm. Rengjeo-136. Minted for the province of Slavonia under Ban Joachim Pectari.⁣⁣⁣ Struck on a broad flan.

The Banovac or Banski Denar was struck and used in Croatia between 1235 and 1384. The root word "ban" is a title of nobility used in Croatia, and roughly translates as "viceroy", whereas "denar" is drawn from the Ancient Roman "denarius." Banovac included the image of a marten, as marten pelts were highly valued goods used as a form of payment in Slavonia, the Croatian Littoral, and Dalmatia. The coins were particularly appreciated for the purity of their silver and for the beauty and quality of their engraving, and circulated throughout central Europe. The marten and six-pointed star motifs of the modern Croatian coat of arms, as well as the name of the Croatian currency (the kuna, Croatian for "marten"), were drawn directly from this coinage.⁣⁣⁣

@Rexford Very interesting story and coin, martens on coins during 1200's, wow.

In addition, 5 lati 1932 was graded NGC MS63

The designer of Latvian 5 lats in 1929, 1931 and 1932 was Richard Zarins (his name can be seen on bronze and nickel coins of Latvia 1922-1935). The prototype of the famous girl was his assistant Zelma Brauere (1900 - 1970)
