Odd Denominations On Coins - The List

Thanks, that now added, here's the current list, now with color-coding for tokens (that's the reason why the "common" designation is now green).

In the meantime, an image of the Suriname 75000 gulden coin appeared at Numista. Mintage of 750 pieces. No wonder it took a while to find.

(?) reported not confirmed = no image found.

Note about the German states: this list does not list all possible German States that issued a certain denomination, just one per currency. Other German States coins with the listed denominations usually exist.

IIRC, it's basically that there's been no proof that it actually has 1/600 on it for a long time (and since the legend's in Chinese, nobody was quite sure what it did say).

For what it's worth, the legend does have a 6 in it, but since I don't know any Chinese, I'm not willing to say what the rest of it means. It might, in fact, say 1/600, or it might just as well be "6 for a cent" or whatever.

And you can probably list the last one under 32 too (which already has two entries, admittedly).

Still no 64 though...


In the meantime, while looking for some more Oldenburg types, I've found the hilarious siege issues of Landau: 1 livre 1 sou, 2 livres 2 sous, 4 livres 4 sous (1702), and 1/2 florin 2 kreuzer (!!), 1 florin 4 kreuzer and 2 florin 8 kreuzer (1713). All have pics in Krause (and in loads of other places).

The first three are, if I didn't miscount, 1-1/20, 2-1/10 (both new) and 4-1/5 (previously only NCLT).
No idea how many kreuzers in a florin, so can't comment on the second set, but it's sure to come up to something crazy.

EDIT: looks like 1 florin = 60 kreuzer, which would make them 8/15, 1-1/15, and 2-2/15 florins respectively. All new, and all crazy. (And we just missed yet another 64 opportunity.)

Added a more unusual 40:

Maastricht siege (1579) - 40 stuivers.

Added to the list, thank you!

Sweden has 19th century 1/3 and 2/3 skilling coins, and I wonder if the speciedaler you rolled them in with is meant to reference that denomination instead.

What about the old pre-decimal Irish coinage
would that fall into this thread?

1/2 leat pingin
1/4 feoirling

2taol, unfortunately so many countries minted coins denominated half or quarter that those cannot be considered odd. We marked those as common. Please note that it doesn't matter how the denomination is written (even if it says "5/10" it's still a half, and thus common).

Finn235, new examples that significantly differ from the ones we already have are always welcome. Vandals 21 & 42, Byzantine Empire 40, 30, 16, 8 & 4 have now been added. Thank you
