    I bought this for the reverse. Well, for the beaver, which is great, and the twelve-sided design, and the exotic Tombac wartime formulation. I show it on my desk with a regular beaver nickel.

    I bought this for the reverse, too (well, the bouquet side).

    Recent cheap-but-cool CircCam pickup for my giveaways. 1816 British “Bullhead” shilling of George III.

    1816 or Great Britain, next.

    Great Britain or 2020, next.


    Bought this near spot in early 2024. Not regretting that decision in the least. Much more fun than some basic bullion coin, I thought.

    If we get to 1924, I’ve got some nifty Austrian coins to show. Tempted, anyone?

    Thanks! I hope I don’t disappoint!

    AI generated text:

    The 1924 Austrian 200 kronen coin and the 1928 Austrian 2 groschen coin are direct siblings in numismatic history. They share the exact same physical specifications and design, serving as the perfect visual bridge during Austria's hyperinflation currency transition.

    Austria converted its currency from the Austrian krone to the schilling (divided into 100 groschen) in 1925 at a fixed rate of 1 schilling to 10,000 kronen.

    The Connection

    • The Transition Link: Per the official 10,000:1 conversion rate, 200 kronen became exactly equal to 2 groschen.
    • Design Identity: To avoid public confusion, the Austrian mint used the exact same bronze planchet and identical Philipp Häusler artwork for both coins. On the front, both feature a prominent heraldic Cross Potent.

    Conversion Details

    • The Rate: 10,000 Kronen = 1 Schilling (or 1,000 Kronen = 10 Groschen)
    • The Date: Established by the Schilling Act on December 20, 1924, and officially issued on March 1, 1925.
    • Transition Coins: To help people adjust to the new values, Austria minted temporary high-denomination krone coins (100, 200, and 1,000 Kronen) that matched the exact size and weight of the new groschen coins (1, 2, and 10 Groschen).

    I believe next is 1928 or Austria, since I transitioned from 1924 Austria to 1928 Austria within the post.

    1937 or Egypt, next.

    (Yeah, there’s a date on the coin, though it’s in Arabic script and Hijri calendar, of course.)
