Pretty as they come!
TalerUniverse.com is a curated numismatic project dedicated to the silver talers, crowns, and medals of the Habsburg Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, spanning the 16th–18th centuries. The collection emphasizes historically significant issues, rare mint varieties, and high-grade NGC/PCGS examples, presented with detailed historical context, scholarly references, and high-resolution photography. TalerUniverse aims to serve both as a private collection showcase and a growing reference resource for collectors, researchers, and students of early-modern European coinage.
Swiss coins are so well made

And a Greek newp, a 1868 drachma PCGS MS64+ , provided that I will find a way to have it shipped to me.

Exceptional coins
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Wow!! They are both gorgeous, especially the 1911 franc.
Very nice! I see you're still collecting Greek and Swiss after all these years. Have you branched out into any other areas?
Hi! So many old faces.....If the subject of the reasons for the lockdown weren’t so morbid, I’d have probably made a bad joke about staying home more.
I have been through banknotes, (for about 6-7 years) that I’m now slowly leaving, having acquired some knowledge and some interesting pieces for my collection and yes, my two primary targets are still Greek and Swiss coins along with a few unc type Japanese coins to advance the album that Stork helped me find.
The notes are also Greek in their majority, and along with the coins ,they tell the story of the rebirth of a country that has gone to bankruptcy quite a few times. It is my strong belief, that understanding the financial history of a country is extremely helpful to understand the political history and eventually read between the lines.
My only problem was the financial crisis that lasted 10 years, and my insatiable appetite for coins, cheaper coins, but always pretty, so this was my reason to expand to Switzerland in coins, or to Cuba (1950-1960) and France (for pure aesthetic reasons) in banknotes as well. But these too taught me a lot of things.
And if I can grab a thing or two from everywhere, I will probably do. I’m not the focused type like you with Philippines or Zohar with his talers, even though I secretly admire you both.
