Fantasy coins that depicts real countries [gelöst]

Hi
I have a goal of collecting at least 3 coins from every country in the world that exists/existed since 1900 but I found out that some countries don’t issue any coinage at all but the countries name exists in fantasy coinage so can anyone list fantasy coins that depicts existing/existed countries regions and micro nations (eg Micronesia, Darfur, Palestine and Guam).

There is a long list on this page ...

http://www.chiefacoins.com/

Coins on Countries and Territories of the World
Coins based on Micro-Nations
Coins based on Alternative Currencies
Coins based on Private Creations and Fantasy issues, etc.
Coins based on Movies and Games
Coins based on Franklin Mint Casino Tokens

In that fourth section - Coins based on Private Creations and Fantasy issues, etc. - are
Darfur Sultanate
Micronesia
Palestine

and Guam I cannot see anywhere on that link.

​Have a nice day.

You have great and extraordinary enthusiasm and goals in this hobby of collectors, coins and tokens.

It's great to see such enthusiasm and own at least 3 coins from all nations and regions. So a little advice , and really take it in a sporty way and with the best possible understanding of the approach. In your activity, I noticed strange things about cleaning foreign coins or you bought them like that, but I rule it out, You tolerate your own state, but even the older one is poorly cleaned with an artificial sponge with a rough surface.
Why am I writing this?
It's my advice.
I will show you an example of our Czech circulating coin which you posted. and I didn't even touch my collections. I emptied the wallets of all the family members at home , and all around I borrowed 2 CZK coins from my wallets + something I have to exchange . We do not have such a destroyed coin, plucked and destroyed by some means, even in the circulation of cash registers.
this is your coin.

here is a pile with wallets:


it's not a coincidence your boliviano:
notice the stripes in one direction in the metal.....

here it is tragic - lanes in one direction ......

either change vendors or approach. so don't be angry , and as proof of all good when you get the impression that you want something from our region- Although for health reasons I avoid exchanges I will make an exception and give you better quality and more.

I wish you a lot of energy in your efforts .

I do agree with you that the Victoria florin was cleaned badly at some point but I blame the terrible lightning conditions because my room gets dark and the light produces a yellow tint to my photos but as soon as I take a picture of the coin from a different part of the house I looks so much better that some of the coins are used for the obverse reverse pictures. I do take your advice to look for better condition coins because that looks much better than a terrible condition coin.​same coin from previous photo.
Does have the ring of death from being at the end of a coin roll at one point.

same coin as well.

Thank you for the explanation , the condition for our 2 CZK it can really be caused by sea air which causes such surface properties on nickel-plated coins I read and look at the pictures and yours I noticed more coins that had one-sided stripes in the material
maybe it's just my impression: UNC coins and tokens that are collectible are intact ( without dust removal) and without lines -and there is some harder intervention in foreign elders from circulation.

And really the sea air and your humid weather and winds is a big problem.
I wish you a lot of joy and I am glad that you took it responsibly and sportily, it was just from my point of view.
Have a nice weekend and a lot of joy , and why I just pulled it out here into this link-only that I came up with the idea of ​​our region and historically, the Great Moravia Empire which did not have a coin, so I created one ,however, it is a different story and a different time.

health a nice day: Ivan

​Does only coins or fantasy coins exist that mention Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and other nations related to that?

​ok does it mention countries that don’t issue coins but exist on fantasy coins? Also does fantasy coins count for collecting every country in the world or it doesn’t count?

​

​For your first question, it generally lists fantasy pieces as such. For example: here's the listing for Enderbyland

As for your second question, I personally don't consider fantasy pieces toward getting a coin from every country.

Thanks for the advice This idea just popped in to my head because I found out that countries such as ​Micronesia don’t issue any sort of coins but they exist on fantasy coinage same as the North Pole territories.

Btw I love your profile picture because I love Mexican coins they remind me of home which I’m from northern Mexico around 140 miles from the US border.

Joel's Coins in California has a list of Micro-nations that includes mostly fantasy issues but many with names of real places. Up to you to decide if you consider them appropriate for your collection. https://www.joelscoins.com/nationsnon.htm. His catalogs include many more fantasy issues with real place names.

A few months ago I saw a fantasy coin issued for the French Domains in Saint Helena, an area of the British colony ceded to France to maintain areas frequented by the exiled Napoleon I and his tomb.

Some people might consider Native American tribes to be countries as they are recognized as sovereign for some purposes, including non-legal tender coin issuing.

​Hi Terrazone
thanks for the extras this has filled in most of my gaps of countries that I need of course. Some of the countries such as Kosovo, Montenegro have issued any coinage but I predict in the future that they would issue their own Euro coins so I will leave a gap in my huge album when I get it.

Update.

I’ve spent the last few days typing down your answers into a google sheet and had to search again due to the Exonumia page being added I had to wait until that got done to resume it.

Thanks to everyone who has helped.👍

Update part 2 finally got all these noted down.

Thanks to all those who have responded.👍

Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands are territories of the USA. But the USA issued for circulation a quarter with a theme of Guam and of the Northern Marianna Islands...as well as several other territories. Maybe they would fit in your collection?

​Those territories quarters would fit into my collection of standard coins but the only thing different is that same with Palestine this is about Exonumia coins that depict real countries.

Anyway thanks for helping.
