My only British coin from 1841 is this pretty nice penny.

Or more importantly 6 Twopenny blues, 10x rarer than Penny Blacks



1840 was also the year New Zealand became part of the British empire formally, when some of my ancestors stole the land of some of my other ancestors

Coins will return in 1836.

Lovely! An era of Polish coins I have not yet tackled. Nice to see one. For those who are curious ... Poland as a sovereign state ceased to exist in 1795. After the Napoleonic Wars, "Congress Poland" was established as an semi-autonomous state under the control of the tsar of Russia, though the autonomy was gradually stripped away after rebellions in 1830 and 1863, at which point any kind of Polish state ceased to exist.

I love the Vic shilling but that Poland 10 Groszy is beautiful.

Here's my own example but in much worse shape.
