I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
The Charles II P-404 is one of the official patterns engraved by John Roettier. The figure of Britannia on the reverse is considered by some to be a likeness of Francis Stewart Duchess of Richmond, although there is no real evidence for this. The revese legend reads 'I Claim the 4 Seas', this was removed for the regular issue coins. Population is 2/0, and it sold really cheap I thought.
Dies for this issue were engraved by either James or Norbert Roettier and although rolled and cut blanks were specified cast blanks were often used, I think this one is a pop1/0 coin and was really surprised at how cheap it was.
For Silver I picked up the 1811 18 Pence in 66 for my Geo. III type set:
1819 Shilling in 66 for my date set of Geo. III Shillings:
1824 Shilling in 64 for my type set:
World Collection
British Collection
German States Collection
Diameter: 25.6 mm.
Weight: 7.3 gr.
Edge: Smooth.
Obverse: Palm tree; "Israel" in Hebrew and Arabic.
Origin of motif: Bar-Kochba coin
(132 - 135 C.E.).
Reverse: The denomination "100 Pruta" and the date in Hebrew; two stylized olive branches.
Alloy: Steel 90%, nickel 10%.
Date of issue: April 21, 1955.
The utrecht variety is one of the most famous rarities in the Israel trade coin series. The smaller wreath (farther from rim) variety was struck using in the Royal Dutch Mint at utrecht. Sylvia Haffner writes: "The 1954 reduced size 100 Pruta was withdrawn from circulation shortly after issue when it was discovered that the similarity in size to the 50 Pruta led to confusion between the two. The number of coins destroyed is not available. The difference between the Berne and utrecht dies was not discovered until 1960, three years after the coins were released in 1957.
Only about 1,000 of the utrecht die variety are presently believed to exist. Most I have seen are in VF-XF condition.
