Thank you Hondo Boguss much appreciated. The new $10 coin goes well with the rest of my Victoria Cross coins.
Cheers Bryan

Thanks OzLeigh much appreciated. Yes I agree about the coloured coins as stated in a previous post I am not a fan of them either and only bought one for a special occasion but each to their own.
Cheers Bryan

Not a high value or super-impressive coin, but it was in the Venn Diagram overlap of my interest in French / French Colonial coins and nature. New Caledonia 5 Francs 1952. Reverse features the kagu bird, found only in the mountains of New Caledonia. They are listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. There are fewer than 1,000 mature individuals estimated in total today.  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Nice coin Hondo. Here is a picture of those mountains. I took this while on a cruise in 2011 and also went there again a couple of years later. Of course I made it a priority to grab as many different coins as I could find. :)  |

Here is my latest purchase. It is the 2016 ANZAC to Afghanistan series of coins. Release by the RAM and in conjuction with some Australian newspapers they were sold in a coincard as part of 14 coin set and the first coin came with a folder to display them in. This is the folder to display them in.  20c Afghanistan  20c Bomber Command  20c Darwin Bombing  20c Dogs at War  20c Fromelles  20c Kokoda  20c Korean War  Cheers Bryan

Bryan, that is a fantastic set - thank you for posting it. I learned more about Australia's military history from reading these cards than I gleaned in all of my 61 years.
