Wait while I look up anachronistic.
anarchist stick??
ahh but my wrist watch with a Morgan dial may be anachronistic. Does not keep date or time. HaHa

My dictionary app is down.
In the age of credit cards, debit cards, smart phones, checks, etc, aren't all coins anachronistic?

How about a nice Fugio cent? (from the Fugio Cent thread)
It is anachronistic in more ways than one - large cent, cent, and has a sundial chronometer device!
Not many replies. I guess it was too esoteric.
Many of the contemporary Morgan dollar counterfeits in the Micro O family are anachronistic die marriages. Here's the latest, 1899-O VAM 51, which uses a reverse die of the C4 hub design, which wasn't introduced until mid-1900. This same reverse die was also paired with a counterfeit 1893 obverse.

In many ways, the entire hobby is a bit anachronistic......
To wonky
Any silver eagle or Flowing hair gold piece.
What about Conder tokens? Don't know if they qualify per the definition of anachronistic, but they're definitely quirky and not many collectors who prize them.

After the British issued some screw press coins like this one ...
They went back to issuing hammered coins like this one.

I don't have a coin to post but it is one of my fears that i will be exposed as anachronistic. James
Crazy saga of the screw press in England. It was brought there from France by Eloye Mestrelle at the queen's behest. It was slower, required lengthy maintenance after breaking down, seen as a job security threat, and eventually discontinued. Mestrelle was dismissed from the mint in 1572 and was hanged for counterfeiting in 1578. 90 years later the hammered coins were finally phased out by a more effective and reliable screw press.

@messydesk . I guess that guy is the original poster child for the dangers of being an innovator. james
This Celtic gold stater was minted in Paris around 70BC but looks like Picasso drew it:
Anachronistic ?? "Anachronistic means existing out of its time in history, such as a piece of furniture or a language that is outdated."
I believe the OP's intent was to show a coin where one side was temporally out of place.

Well this Vermont uses an old worn counterfeit halfpence reverse die
Once more, something British.
Which one do you think looks more like Henry VII? (ruled 1485 to 1509), He was Henry VIII's daddy.
This one
Or this one?
The British invited a German states die maker to come and improve their coins.
That style was around since the 1279 Edward I recoinage.
