Let's show Doogy that it's not ALL ABOUT BRITISH coins

In the spirit of Darkside, let's keep U.S. coins out of this thread.

I'll get the ball rolling:

Chile - ND (1859) Peso

I bought this one a few months ago.

It was described as follows: "Chile. Republic Silver Escudo Pattern 1828-IJ, this fascinating coin features the hand on book design for the gold Escudo which was adopted in 1838, yet this piece is clearly dated 1828. Nice toned F-VF, reeded edge, 3.29 grams. Very rare and the first we have recorded. Ex-Norweb Collection with the original envelope and noted as Brand as well."

Even though I think it's likely that this is a contemporary counterfeit and not a pattern, I still couldn't resist!

ajaan · August 14, 2008 10:35AM

rwyarmch that is one awesome Canadian token.

farthing · August 14, 2008 11:41AM

Scans from several years ago. I may still have the first but I believe I sold the second.

Oh my. Many of these coins have rays, my weakest spot!

Some are gold. That's bad for me too!

I will post my one Mexican Gold coin...hopefully it's not too close on the tails of my last post of this coin!

No rays on this coin, but I think the Aztec Calendar is mighty fine!

TwoKopeiki · August 21, 2008 2:35AM

Thanks! You have some kick-ass Canadian tokens

Rickc300 · August 21, 2008 2:42AM

A pretty common coin but I like the color alot...

Here is one of my favorites:

I nominate that south peruvian sunface coin as the greatest coin design of all time. The reverse has so many things on it i don't know how they fit them all on one side. A ship in the ocean,a spewing volcano, a cornucopia, and a castle of some sort among other things. And of course the sunface on the obverse. It has a majestic quality about it that you see in few other coins. It draws you to it. i will be looking to purchase one in the future. Bob

<< <i> I nominate that south peruvian sunface coin as the greatest coin design of all time. >>

I agree

TwoKopeiki · August 21, 2008 10:00PM

I don't know about the "all times" bit, but it's definitely my favorite design from South Peru

shirohniichan · August 22, 2008 2:32AM

This isn't a pretty coin, but it's hard to find in high grade.

Here's one that is somewhat hard to find. Pity that it's so worn.

TwoKopeiki · September 3, 2008 8:57PM

Lots of Caballito pictures in the last week:

TwoKopeiki · September 17, 2008 10:15PM

Here's a neat pair:

Daltonista · September 18, 2008 6:49AM

North/South American Coins? This one must be a twofer, right? (Could go either way?)

Found in a half-dollar junk box...probably there on account of the squishy rim.

Some great coins on this thread!
Best to all ~

Doogy · September 24, 2008 2:11PM

NumbersUsacom · September 24, 2008 3:23PM

I liked this one, so I may have paid to much.
