That's right - some more rare ZARs.

This is an 1874 2 Pence piece which matches my 1874 1 Penny perfectly:

    Nice. I always wanted to ask you this: is there a special reason that you collect Zar coins instead of Irish ones?

    Dimitri - I don't particularly like Irish coins. Plus the fact that every man and his dog collects Irish coins here....boring....I want to be different. image

    Once I bought my first Pond I was hooked...........

    CC - thanks man !!

    I know exactly what you mean, there's a similar situation over here. image


    But why Zar, where did that come from?

    I think Dimitri is asking for a history lesson of the Boer wars....image

    I have already asked quite a few silly questions, but Marcel has been very patient with me so far. image

    No problems - ask away.

    I suppose that I liked the code of arms on the first Pond that I bought, the history is pretty intruiging too:

    Here is an excellent site by Scott Balson who sometimes posts here. Lots of links within too.
