I decided to make a nice thread with all of the differnt types of Liberty designs that I have acquired so for. I hope all of you enjoy them as much as I am.
I really like the many renditions of Marianne (the older banknotes have some impressive designs too!), especially the 10 centime you have up there.. but this one cent from Indochina always eerily reminds me of the Roman coins with the emperor standing over a captive.

Magnificent set!! I love 'em. What is the grade of the Polish 1 zloty, 8th from the top? It's stunning.

"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." -Deut. 6:4-5
"For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; He will save us." -Isaiah 33:22
The 1 Zloty is raw. It is uncirculated with no signs of wear so I would say it is probably MS-63 or somewhere in there. It might even grade higher because there are no visible hits anywhere.
It's a beautiful coin, and I dare say it'd go higher than 63. Very tough in that grade, too.

I don't blame you! I'm not necessarily a sl*bophile myself, I was just curious as to the condition rarity of that coin. Anyway, I enjoy your collection and wish you much fun and success with it!

I like slabbed coins it is just the money that it takes to get them slabbed that stops me from doing it myself. I would much rather spend the money on more coins then slabbing fees.
I know it will take a long time but I have a long time to work with this set.
Thanks, Rob. There are a few I will probably upgrade at a later time but fo know I am just picking up whatever catches my eye. As for the Kriegsgeld token I stole it from wildjag.
A great theme, generally well implemented, but I do have one question - How do real life Queens and that great emblem of Empire known as Britannia represent liberty?

Nice coins!

Chile, 5 pesos -- It says Liberty! (this design was on several denoms from 1976-90, this junk box specimen is actually the only one I have )
A similar pose from Hungary:
I'm not sure this counts fully as Liberty, but it is celebrating nationalism.. 50 years of unified Italy:
I think this might be one of those themes that will prove as never-ending as ships, eagles or lions.. but it sure will be a fun one. Good luck!

I just received a 1997 proof centennial version of your Victoria Jubilee medal -- I'd love to find an original as nice as yours!!
Come on over ... to The Dark Side!
Mark, I am afraid to tell you but I do not own any medals. Maybe one of these days once I run out of coins to buy.
