That a nice Balboa hondu, Nice additions Dearborn, that india coin I like. Today a sweet little coin in good quality, very pleased with this 2 riksdaler riksmynt 1859. Silver This is a throwing coin minted to king Oscar Is funeral. Its prooflike and quite scarce A brief summary of the "throwing coin" from wiki Cast coins are coins that in historical times were thrown out to the public in connection with royal events. The mill was a way of showing the wealth and generosity of the regent. In Sweden, the last cast coins were minted in the 19th century. Until Gustav III's coronation in 1772, the denomination was two marks, then 1/3 riksdaler. It is unclear how the cast coins were used during the early Vasa period, but by the time of Queen Kristina, regulations on handling - how and when the coins were to be cast - had been put into use. The custom ended after the time of Karl XIV Johan, but was replaced by so-called memorial money, which was no longer suitable as a means of payment, until Oscar II's funeral in 1907. The obverse side of the coin told the story of the current event, typical of the time. When Ulrika Eleonora was buried in 1742, it was announced that her citizenship had been transferred to heaven "INDIGENE POLI". On the coin from Gustav Adolf's birth, it was announced "Fortplantad 1778". When the father, Gustav III, was buried, it said more emotionally: "Incorruptible since March 29, 1792". Queen Sofia Magdalena was on her funeral cast coin "Loved and mourned by Svea folk", and when the sister-in-law, Hedvig Charlotta was buried in 1818, "Svear's sorrow increased" was on the obverse side of the coin. In connection with coronations, it was usually the electoral languages #8203;#8203;that were spread among the people through caste coins. The reverse says something like "new room in the temple of Swedish memories" and with a picture on the church hes buried in

Her is some information on my India coin: Quote: The Lion Capital of Ashoka is the capital, or head, of a column erected by the Mauryan emperor Ashoka in Sarnath, India, c.#8201;250 BCE. Its crowning features[1] are four life-sized lions set back to back on a drum-shaped abacus. The side of the abacus is adorned with wheels in relief, and interspersing them, four animals, a lion, an elephant, a bull, and a galloping horse follow each other from right to left. A bell-shaped lotus forms the lowest member of the capital, and the whole 2.1 metres (7 ft) tall, carved out of a single block of sandstone and highly polished, was secured to its monolithic column by a metal dowel. Erected after Ashoka's conversion to Buddhism, it commemorated the site of Gautama Buddha's first sermon some two centuries before.
