1930 Iceland 10 Krónur X# 3
Composition: Silver
Weight: 45.0000g
Diameter: 45mm
Mintage: 10,000 (though it is possible far fewer were struck)
Struck privately by the Saxon State Mint, Muldenhutten, Germany, at the instigation of an Icelandic Parliamentary committee.
By law, the government of Iceland was permitted to issue a set of medals with embossed values commemorating the 1,000th anniversary of the Icelandic Althing (Parliament) in 1930. The law stipulated that the medals could be given validity as legal tender by a royal decree. That decree was never granted, leaving these enigmatic pieces forever between coin and medal.

That’s one very cool looking piece you have there. I like it a lot
The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
Another from our neighbor to the south. A not so common one year type with the weight in grams of pure gold on each side of winged victory instead of the denomination on the left.

A pair of 1871 dated cap and ray 8 reales. Difficult date. These were only made at three mints, Alamos, Chihuahua and Hermosillo. Most mints had converted over to balance scale pesos in the early 1870's. These are both PCGS MS64, with the Ho coin being top pop at PCGS.
