Italian 2 lire piece:   #10: Luxembourg 36 mm. 1946 100 fr. with a horse-and-rider motif straight out of the late Middle Ages:   #9: Another ornate piece from Italy, 30 mm. 500 lire,edge-dated 1958:

What I reckon my favorite are as follows: From China:  Unofficial state emblem struck in 1926 - I think it was to commemorate Emperor Pu Yi's wedding. Still pretty neat. Only if it didn't have a hole, it would be worth a fair bit more.  Kweichow Province 10 cash - only coin to be struck in antimony that did circulate. Worthless back then but now it's commanding super ridicious prices.  Kiaochao or now known as Qingdao - former German colony. Interesting to see both German and Chinese text. Pretty neat design. Japan 50 sen  Malaysia 1 ringgit  Fell victim to heavy counterfeiting. Russia 1913 commemorative ruble  A rather sad story of a Tsar getting commemorated and get assisinated a few years later. Still reasonably affordable. Soviet Union ruble  I can't possibly think of a coin that's more leftist than this can be. Czechslovkia 500 koruns, commemorating Josef Lada

Fuzzy,
The 1964 d dime is highly prized by the average collector and is still possible to find in circulation. I wonder how many I have?
