Pretty cool coin I picked up this week. It is from the period of Italian occupation of Albania.

This is a 1960 1/12th of a shilling from the Bailiwick of Jersey, commemorating the 300th Anniversary of the Accession of King Charles II. The obverse features Queen Elizabeth II (crowned), and the reverse the royal arms of Jersey. It is composed of bronze, and my example weighs 9.52g. This coin was minted as Jersey was the first place to proclaim King Charles II following the abolition of the monrachy

Latest addition to my collection. Really high grade with a nice patina.

There is a small lamination on the obverse, which is why I was able to get it for somewhat cheap I think.

This is a 1941 25 cents from the German occupation of the Netherlands during WW2. This examples weighs 5g, and is composed of zinc. The obverse features a Viking ship, and the reverse features the denomination between two branches. It was minted at the Royal Dutch Mint.

This is a 1966 10 shillings from the Bailiwick of Guernsey, celebrating 900 years since the battle of Hastings, and Norman succession. The obverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. And the reverse features a portrait of William the Conqueror. It was minted at the royal mint, and my example weighs 11.3g.
