Some lovely coins last month, everyone! Welcome to the month of May (at least in this part of the world) and to the additions thread for this month.
My coin buying has been a bit slow recently, but I did receive this 1902 matte proof British shilling today. This will probably be one of my only coin purchases for this month. I am very pleased with this one, being practically FDC with a lovely mint wipe, as was standard on this issue.
I look forward to seeing what coins you all add to the collection this month!
That Matte Proof shilling is dope! You can even see the teeth on the rim!
Gorgeous, 1902 Proof set is the next on my list. I have 1911 and now its time to go backwards.
This is actually a May purchase. I went into a Christchurch coin shop and bought some pages and general world coins and they casually mentioned they had an old 1 OZ Mapleleaf from 1985.
Its a few scratches and all and a slight bump at 9 o'clock on the Obv, but essentially still UNC, weight was right and it passed the gold test.
I asked her how much for it and she said $3850. So naturally, you knew what happened next. I bought it! Luckily in New Zealand, pure gold and silver is not taxed with GST (15%) like Sovereigns or Sterling silver coins are, as its considered mineral rather than currency and given this is a common coin in relatively beat up condition, means I got it cheap. Its still an ounce of real gold (Weight 31.15 grams).
Even better is gold was at $3884 when I bought, so this was under melt! Really thrilled to have my first ounce coin rather than just more 22 carat stuff. Amazed how small these coins are, only 30mm in size.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

Opening up some more packets and here are a few of the pre-euro Republican escudo coins. nice big pieces of silver. I had been eyeing them for a long time, but now that I saw them in person and that the price has not really moved in decades, I finally bit the bullet .. happily I will add
the first coin was issued in 1994, not too long before the wonderful world of the internet allowed me the opportunity to exchange With people internationally. By the time the euros came out, I had all the face value 1000esc except this very last one, which also carried my family name. So it’s very satisfying to have it in hand finally!
the other 2 come from the early days of the Salazar regime, very nice grade and had to have these too
But I have to make a correction, the 1910's silvers are from the First Republic period, the Salazar period started in the 1920's (military coup in 1926 and Estado Novo regime in 1933).
Sorry for any bothering, but after you said “early Salazar period” the phrase “1910 wasn't it too early for Salazar?” started bugging me and I had to do a little research.
By the way, the last coin is a commemorative of the proclamation of the republic.

Thanks , yes you’re right! I made a false assumption that when the monarchy was overthrown, it was immediately replaced by the junta

Thanks! Yeah I’m pretty happy with it, it looks amazing in person. Not a single scratch or mark. It has been my intention to put together a 1902 matte proof silver set from individual coins, using the best examples of each denomination I can find. I think a florin will be next, but that won’t be for a while now due to insufficient funds.
The 1893 and 1887 proof sets are also lovely, but considerably more expensive than the 1902, 1911, and 1927s.
That is a lovely maple leaf there, you can’t go wrong with an ounce of gold, especially for less than melt! Were there any other interesting world coins you purchased?

Me too, when I was researching my Angolan stamp collection (They went from Carlos 2 stamps in 1903 to overprints and then a 1910 issue of Manuel 2 was printed in Portugal, but the revolution had happened by the time they were ready to go and they were overprinted “Republica” and issued in 1911.
It seems the really nationalistic stuff was not issued until the early 1930s (1932 Angolar set). 1910s Portugal was remarkably democratic, but Portugal was very poor and agrarian then too and the revolution was part of the wave of fascism sweeping Europe in the early 30s. Getulio Vargas took Brazil in 1930 and added to it. Even Spain had 5 years of peaceful democracy between 1931 and 1936 until Franco possibly inspired by Salazar, Hitler, Mussolini and a few others ruined it all.
IM94 - Thanks, yes I agree, they were amazed when I said I would buy the coin. The other stuff was just a few Canadian pennies from the 90s and 2000s I didn't have, a 1956 nickel and 3 later quarters. No precious metal coins.

I did not intend to get any more coins this month, but I ended up purchasing these trade tokens today. The first one is undated, and I am unsure of the exact time period. I will have to research further into this. Both have lovely patinas and are quite nice looking token designs - despite the hole on the second one.
An hour ago I received a Charles III 10 cents (or “dime”) in my change. What's interesting is that it's a 2024!! I suspect the 2023 Canadian Charles coins will be quite scarce. Not only were they released at the end of last year, seeing the new 2024 Canadian coin at this time of year is very early.
So, may be we should all save our 2023 Charles III coins. So far, I've seen (and saved) only three 2023 quarters.

I am skeptical you would easily find the entire 2023 set, let alone multiple examples of each denomination in circulation. I suspect quarters may be the most common
dealers were selling both, 2023 and 2024 coins… for a set with a face value of $3.90, the asking prices were on average $21.5 before any negotiation… very steep imo
So many of us, including myself, use plastic to pay that it's easier just to buy the set from a dealer. I have recently started to pay cash more often in order to get Charles coins in my change. This morning I went for gas with $45 and stopped the pump at $40.91. I was looking for two toonies in my change. They had nothing special to them, but I happened to also get the Charles III dime.
I don't expect I'll be able to complete a 2024 set in UNC condition from my change, so I'll probably buy a set on eBay.
EDIT – I just bought a full 2024 set (including the 50 cents) for C$13.45. It's not a RCM set, just six 2X2 flips from rolls. It's a “presale” since the coins will be shipped not before the second half of this month.

City of Port Melbourne, Victoria (Undated)
Robert Hyde & Co, Melbourne (1861)
Nice I collect tokens too, mostly New Zealand, but nearly all were minted by Stokes in Melbourne. They actually minted NZ only tokens after they were banned in Victoria in 1868, we did not ban them until 1881.
2 of my Aussie ones for you
In Vino Veritas 1862 (In wine - truth).
This stained one has the same Peace and Plenty logo on it too. Both were very cheap here.
1858 makes it my oldest Australian numismatic item (Beating my 1871 sovereign by 13 years).

Also, does anyone know what's wrong with the obverse of the 25 Pfennig? It has a dent/spot above the 25.
Kind regards
Nothing wrong with it. It is a beautiful uncirculated piece with full lustre. The shapes you can see, the spot above 25, and more just between and below 25, are ghost impressions of the thick parts of the eagle on the reverse. That effect is not uncommon, and is not any kind or flaw.
nice coin!

Ok, thanks for the reply! I actually like effects like these, but I can't easily recognise them.

I think the reverse die (the one with the “25”) suffered from heavy transfer from long use.
interesting! could be that…🧐
Oh, but you said the same thing, because “ghosting” is the common descriptive term used for this.
I should add that when I said “suffered” I meant from the technical point of view of the die. For the collector, this could be seen as an interesting addition – a little something you can tell people when you show them your collection. Of course, the perfectionists who look for MS65 first strikes won't be impressed, but that's their problem…
Very nice piece ! Throughout the Mughal period starting in the 16th century and right until the early 19th century, various vassals of the Mughal and then the Maratha and even the English east India company issued coinage in the similar style paying hommage to the Mughal emperor even if the emperor carried no power especially after Aurangzeb.
Opening up the last bag of coins from my Portugal trip, all of them being €5 commems.
There are some nice thematic issues in there, I’ll start with Dinosaurs And one unicorn first . IMO, the reverse designs are just as Or even more interesting than the obverse designs
Howdy again, y’al. My purchases are gonna be super slow this month, but here to start it off we have an 1897 Serbian 1 Dinar 🇷🇸
This particular one is a 1 year type featuring King Alexander I. He became king at 13 years of age and was assassinated by a group Royal Serbian Army officers, including Dragutin Dimitrijević, who is thought by some to be the one who plotted the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which of course, as we all know, led into WW1
Only thing I have bought lately is a 50 Tala note of Samoa and 114 Danish Kroner for $14, a good buy as its under face (114DK = $26.60).

Didn't get the coins this month, but did finally sort through and identify all my collected Croatian Kuna (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/croatie-1.html#c_croatie91). Ended up with 68 coins, not a bad percentage. Now that Croatia has switched to the Euro, adding to the collection will be much harder!
Last of the €5 euros. Though I found another packet with some monarchial Coins which I totally forgot about and will post in the next day or two. in the meanwhile I also received a parcel from Germany from a swap. 2024 has turned out quite Busy coin collecting wise !
Final set of Portuguese coins from my trip. this time the last 3 kings… Luis, Carlos and Manuel. Manuel was on the throne were two years before being deposed. He was not prepared for what he had to take on, if not for his father and brother being assasinated. He ended up being a puppet happy to play at his piano and stay a recluse in general from what I was told during a tour of the Pena Palace
next will be a bunch of very nice silvers and coppers from Germany/austria that came in the mail earlier this week

Lovely tokens there, it seems there a quite a few tokens from this period that share a common obverse or reverse design, with many inspired/ based off British coinage. Was it common for some of the Australian tokens to circulate at all in New Zealand during this time, or was this not a common occurrence?
I would love to own a (full?) set of Victorian gold rush trade tokens one day, as the Victorian gold rush is one of my main collecting interests (Not coin-related). I think this would be quite a task due to the amount of businesses and issuers - many of which virtually inaccessible or very expensive.
Added a boatload of coins this month, but just don't have the time to properly classify them due to work commitments. However, here are two coins that I did classify:
Obv: Vishnupadam (footprints of Vishnu) flanked by lamps on either side; above royal umbrella flanked by flywhisks on either side Rev: Tamil legend - கலியுகராமன் (Kaliyukarāmaṉ - who conquered every country) Dim: 15mm; 2.81 g
Maravarman Sundara Pandya overthrew the Chola rulers and unified Southern India, thus starting the Second Pandyan Empire.
Arya Chakravartis of Jaffna: Anonymous (ca. 1284-1410) Æ Massa (MCSI 667)
Obv: Seated king on left facing right with Tamil legend செது (SETU) vertically below his arm. Rev: Standing king with crown consisting two lines and a dot, trident on left under raised right arm. All in bead circle. group of spheres on right, surmounted by crescent. Dim: 19mm, 3.78 g, 7h
The Portuguese wrecked havoc after the revolt in Ceylon and thus beheaded the Jaffna King, ending the official rule in Jaffna, but royal family lived on. You can read about them at https://www.jaffnaroyalfamily.org as well as the current head of the Arya Chakravartis.
I can't believe this passed me. This is a great example too - her coins are very hard to get!

I would love to start expanding my uk collection to the older monarchs of the Stuarts and Tudors. I’m working my way backwards right now through the Hanoverians.
in the meanwhile, opening up a recent parcel with my Austrian and German commems

You want the groat? I’d be happy to trade it with you!

Sadly I think for the last 25+ years, they produced only a few good looking German large denomination commemoratives. Especially I'm not very fond of all these ugly and sometimes goofy eagle designs (and eagle motives are some of my favourites). 😔
I love eagles, they are so majestic and powerful looking. Eagles also look great on coins, especially large ones. The Americans have been milking them for years!

It can depend on perspective. As a canadian, we are stuck with a staid portrait of the monarch. So seeing the Germans play with their eagle design is very refreshing, even after all these years. Granted, they can be hits or misses, but overall I’m quite pleased with these.

So do I 2nd only to dragons. I was talking about the (IMO) often ugly to ridiculous eagle design on the German commemoratives probably from the notion that they are not allowed to look the slightest bit militaristic or majestic so not to frighten the neighbors 😒.
But like ashlobo said to people that have very monoton coin sides they might seem okay to even nice.
Two more replacement notes, both with the Lawson/Bouey signatures (1973-1984):
With these signatures the EDX prefix is rather scarce. I happened to already have an EDX, but with the Crow/Bouey signatures (1984-1987), so it's a transitional prefix.
Over 2,000,000 EDX Lawson Bouey $10 replacements were issued. The reason for their high book value is more due to the fact that these were the first time the 3 letter replacements (using __X coded system) were issued so fewer examples were caught (or saved, esp in better grades). I have seen many of these in lower grades though.
I actually got this note in a collection I bought (a nice VF example with the front design slightly off-centred, to the right):
Just to compare, only 480,000 Crow Bouey EDX with the steel back engravings were issued (# below 2,640,000) while nearly 2Mil Lithographed back replacements were issued (lower book value). Although Charlton awards higher book value to the Lawson example, i've seen less of the Crow-Bouey steel backs.
Your AAX $1.00 is also a steel back engraved note (as its # is below 2.16M).
One big purchase, my friend was threatening to melt it. I had to buy it out of mercy then!
Its a UK, 1893 Double Sovereign, likely from a Proof set. A bit of wear on it now, I would grade it gVF/aEF. Still a lovely and scarce coin though. Another goal ticked off being a 19th century gold coin larger than a sovereign. The price I got it for was good too. Melt plus GST basically. In NZ, GST is charged on any gold coin that is not at least 0.999 pure.

All about the money now. Gold coins are nice, but when your wife is out of work, you have been unwell and have high school age kids - money takes over. He's a good mate, hence while I swept in and did 2 good deeds at once.

final coins from my German-Austria packet. I particularly like the Charlemagne coin since that was my most recent trip to Germany when I visited Cologne and Aachen In summer 2022. The Charlemagne coin was issued a couple months later. I got a token at the Aachen cathedral exactly with the same design. I was actually very unhappy with it as i Actually wanted another one, but the machine ate up my money without spitting out the token. I had to then go to the shop owner who only had the design below. I’ll have to find that token. Its probably in one of my albums

Thx for the explanation, Serial_Number_8, and thx for showing your own.
Interestingly, my EDX was the third in three weeks from the same eBay seller, and all with the Lawson-Bouey signatures. I bid on the first, 3-4 weeks ago, but finished third bidder I think. The second one was a higher grade one (I would say VF+) but was already over $100 even an hour before the closing time. The one I got was rather low in grade, but I was tempted just because I already had a Crow-Bouey EDX. I put a low bid 7 seconds before the end and won in spite of another last second low bid.
AU, and in circulation? Amazing! Now look for a 1994 ZA/YA series note.
I guess that someone had some notes put aside, and spent them that day. I think it unlikely that NBP would still issue an older series of standard issue notes.
I did get a YC 200 ZŁ from circulation last year, grade about EF. I have a theory that older notes are being used up within the current series by numbering them as replacements. No replacements of the current series 200 ZŁ notes have been seen to my knowledge (I watch auctions for them onebid.pl), just the older series. Interesting, and good for growing my collection. I also got a few Y replacement 100 notes of the older series. The Z replacements are much scarcer, printed by De La Rue afaik.
I have bought a few notes for my collection too, just not bothering to photograph them or upload them. But heres a list and links, so you can see them.
Fiji 1938 5 shillings (VF/Fine) condition, nice rare note here
And of the 2002 series, this is distinguished from the above as it has 2 signatures and says “Samoa” as opposed to “Western Samoa” as the country changed its name in 1996. All the 5 Talas are UNC, I already have 2 of this type.
The 50 Tala of the same series, my example is VF and again cost around FV ($25) I now have the whole 2002 series except the rare 100 tala. Most of my Pacific banknotes stop at the 20 or 50 level just on sheer price and its only recently I have started adding 50s.
Early Tongan notes were dated and this is a nice example from 1975 that is UNC. Like Fiji, Tonga had a 50 cents (Seniti) note as many people were poor and 50 seniti was a significant sum in the 1960s and 1970s. Unlike Fiji 50 seniti coins had been issued since 1967, but did not catch on until 1975 (The coins above 20 seniti, were mainly decorative until 1975). Most 50 seniti and 1 or 2 Pa'anga notes are found in poor condition due to heavy use and tropical humidity. Nearly all my Pacific notes are UNC and likely saw limited or no use. I doubt they even went to the islands! I know most of my later Samoan notes too have similar serial numbers meaning they likely never went there.
Unlike the others the 10, was a high value note. This is also un used and the last date of the type. Numista says 1973 - 1981 but has up to 1989 in its listing. Banknote Museum also mentions the notes are dated to 1989.
This was the highest value of the 1967 - 1989 series. A 20 Pa' anga was added in 1985, but this note had a very different style design and it's style would be used for the 1995 - 2006 series from 1 to 50 Pa'anga (I have them all).
I paid $59 for the 10 Pa'anga as being a high value, its a scarce note. Until 2000 or so, the Pa'anga was worth around $1.30 NZD, but now its about 70 cents our money.
The 1 to 10 Pa'anga were issued again in 1992, but with no dates and just one signature. You can tell these apart from earlier notes. The designs were also used from 1967 to 1973, but showing Queen Salote Tupou III (died in 1965) instead of Tupov IV. The late Queen was very popular and adding a Tongan coinage was one of her ideas and thus she was honoured by being on the coins for 1967 and notes to 1973.

Nothing too crazy on pickups this month, but I did grab a couple things. First up is this beautiful Two Shillings from 1939. The front of this one has some almost golden toning, which I didn’t notice when I had purchased the coin
And last pickup for right now is this stunner 1919 10,000 Roubles from South Russia. Civil War issue, under the General Command of the Armed Forces of South Russia.
I LOVE the reverse on this, the art is beautiful imo. One of my favorite notes I have rn
Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.
Lol I wish unfortunately postage costs would be very high if it costed me £13 to send 4kg of coins and notes to be exchanged albeit registered postage.

What an eclectic mix, defunct currencies to very recent US pennies.
even though there was about half a ice cream tub full of 1860-1967 (mostly 1930s) pennies it was a good mix and even some silver.
I haven’t gone through it all just took out all of the mainland British coins the oldest is 1723 and the newest is 2022.

Which one was your favourite?
I haven't sorted through them fully apart from pulling out all mainland British coins, tokens, silver and identifiable coins. although one lot had a lot of current and exchangeable coins such as 0.50 and 1 Deutsch Mark coins.
