No, No Sir, I didn't mean your post, sorry if I caused confusion. I meant my own post, I had posted bahrainian coins above you, but somehow a second post came at 10 AM of me which I edited to what it is now, and asked if it could be removed.

Verweis : "Mr. Midnight"I have few thing to place here, Leopold II era silver francs
the Mercury design from '48-55
A little add-on to your Leopold II LMU-era silver coins:
1886 Belgium 1 Franc - Leopold I (Dutch text left; French text right, first design (CoA))
+ 1880 Belgium 1 Franc - Leopold II (50th Anniversary of Belgium)
+a couple of small denominations:
1853 Belgium 20 Centimes - Leopold I + 1831 Belgium 1/4 Franc - Leopold I
I also thought it might be interesting to note the lack of royal portraits and even monograms on Belgian coins from the end of WWII (1944-45) until the mid/late 1950s; (e.g. on the Mercury coins) reason is King Leopold III's suspected treason and collaboration with the occupying German forces during WWII. Even though he was exonerated he stayed out of the country until 1950 and abdicated the following year in favour of his son Baudouin.

These are the only coins I have from British Honduras, which I find is one of the hardest modern British colonies to acquire coins from. The 1 Cent is relatively common, but the .925 silver 25 cents only has a combined mintage of 54.000 (or 40.000 for this year) and 78 NRI.
Hey, I wanted to be the 1st to post my Bermuda Crown, but it's not June 16th for another 15 minutes still!
Unfortunately the front of mine is somewhat damaged, because I found it glued into a wooden paperweight in an antique store some years ago and pried it out, and the glue had done some damage
Next post I get is on the 20th, and it's a coin I just got a few days ago, can't wait to share :)
Verweis : "CassTaylor"I always used to think the wrecked ship on the arms of Bermuda was an allusion to it's infamous namesake Triangle.
No, it's the Sea Venture. But I do want one of those triangular $3 Bermuda coins, I think they're cool, I just haven't looked to see how much they cost yet.

Sorry for bad photo, but wherever I tried to take it, I could not get all them in without one being too shiny.

Ah, great info, thank you!
Your crown is just as nice as mine; usually for popular countries I wait a while and then not post any coin types others already have, but there's no harm in having more coins to appreciate.

Aye, you're right, but to be honest I did start Bermuda about a couple hours early, just because I had nothing better to do.

The pictures on the Numista page are mine, but, due to miscommunication in page creation, don't have my copyright byline.
I'm apparently still the only Numista member to own this fairly scarce type.
I've always liked the name Schweidnitz (unfortunately called Swidnica, today). Here's another coin from there:
Schweidnitz -- 1/2 groschen, 1524:
I got this one some time ago for my OFEY (One From Each Year) collection -- I always assumed Schweidnitz was a German state, since Krause lists it that way.
Verweis : "phfoticus"One thing about an OFEY collection is that the date needs to be clear, but the rest of the coin can be worn out. :)
Ok my post was sarcasm, it seems some people didn't get that? Your's is better than mine in ever possible way. If you want every year, the "coins by year" thread is stalled at 1496...
Just of curiosity I've tried to find a 1496 coin, the few on Numista that are exactly that year, are all "100" on rarity, so nobody owns one. I can't find one anywhere online...

Yeah, that was an awesome thread I'm glad everyone who participated on it had fun. And hey, we beat the old Numista record (1610) by over a hundred years!
Just for the record, if anyone comes into possession of a 1496, they're more than welcome to revive it!
I don't have anything from Botswana, but there's a really interesting historical film about this guy and his (at the time) controversial marriage to a British woman. He was King of Bechuanaland under the British Protectorate, and first President of Botswana after it's 1966 independence.
