Daltonista, that is a busy berry reverse! I looked up that coin because I like the swan, but I don't like the prices I see for it!

Finally (for today) one of my busiest British silver tokens, a shilling from Ipswich in Suffolk, which circulated 1811-1812. Ipswich was a barracks town at the time, and this is reflected in the token's unusual imagery and legends.

Thank you to my fellow forumites..."busy" coins and tokens aren't too hard to find. Yours are looking pretty good too!

Spanish colonial coins have a quite busy obverse, such as on this 1754 8 Reales minted in Mexico City.  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Another fine example, Hondo Boguss.

Excellent choice, Hondo Boguss!
Lots to look at on much of the coinage coming out of Europe and "The Levant" during the 18th century thanks to all the monarchs showing off their heraldry.
In "my field," George III's 1787 shillings are the contemporaneous equivalent from Britain. Busybusybusy.

Here's the one I was looking for last night, an 1885 "Gothic Florin" of Britain's Queen Victoria. Yes, my iPhone camera skill level isn't helping here, but the obverse strike is indeed unusually weak for the type...got it cheap in 2005 for that reason.
Busy in a beautiful way, to my eye...just like its big sister, the Gothic Crown.

First time looking at this thread. Some very cool and busy coins! These two popped into my head as rather busy. Sorry for old crappy photos.   |
