Lovely stuff.

I like that half-pagoda. Have never really done Indian coins (except British Empire ones). I might have to change that.

The Visigothic coin is funny for its clownish portrait, but I'm not laughing at it. I'm quite impressed by it.

Thanks. The Tremisses is a source of amusement for me as well. I find the 12th century Hungarian Denar confusing, no idea what is represented on that coin. Maybe Bela the Blind played a role in the design?

I edited the original post because I had omitted my 9th century French Denier.

I've had that 1733/2 Wurttemberg 5 kr in hand - lovely coin.

A great collection. The inclusion of the trial and pattern pieces add to the interesting variety.

Great pieces Paul. It's amazing how far you've come since starting as an OFEC collector, always with that same eye for great quality. Thanks for sharing.
