1965 Great Britain 1 Crown, Winston Churchill

This was in my local coin shop's junk coin box, and these pictures are the result of it being a pocket piece for about 6 weeks.
Here is the original thread I had about this Crown.

I was thinking of posting one of those.

Sort of funny ... so many coins in the world ... yet some of the same ones get posted.

Here is mine

Some coins do get collected by almost everyone.

And for 1965...
How-Far-Back-Can-We-Go?-Second-Edition!-Ended-At-1492-Waiting-On-1491
Peru, 1/2 sol, 1965
This is a nifty commemorative... 400 years that the Lima mint has been operating. Plus it has an old cob design copied for a new coin design! It joins my 2011 Panama 1/2 balboa with this feature... although a Peruvian cob would be much cheaper.

You'll see a full sol tomorrow...

I wanted to post some relatively unusual/uncommon ones for 1966, but got a bit busy that day.
I'm not sure when I could come in again (next date I have anything interesting for seems to be in the 1950s).

A commemorative rouble (20 years after the victory and the end of WW II) is my choice for 1965.

As most commemorative roubles, these were high mintage issues meant for circulation (but slightly larger than regular rouble coins.)

Thanks for posting that coin. I have seen some like it, but did not know what
country they were from.

nalaberong stole a march on me with that cool Peruvian coin. So here's a common image of the Queen, who has suffered a few indignities. Sorry about the condition. I'll do better tomorrow.

HONG KONG 1965 ten cents: nickel brass; 20+ mm; mintage = 40 mil.

Before this thread devolves into "Post your American silver"... Here is the sol, as promised.
How-Far-Back-Can-We-Go?-Second-Edition!-Ended-At-1492-Waiting-On-1491
Peru, 1 sol de oro, 1964

This is a big coin... at 33mm and 14g, it may be the largest brass coin in the world to circulate. It's larger than an American half dollar (I predict we'll see at least one today...) and an Australian 50c coin, but it can't usurp Ike's throne (the world standard of large base-metal coins).
