Great Britain Queen Victoria penny - 1862 - looks as if the last figure of the date on the die was a bit of an afterthought!

Belgium, 10 centimes, 1862

These coins aren't worth all that much according to the catalog. But the design is interesting and looks quite modern for the time.

Still a great looking coin, Nalaberong; copper-nickel coins were a novelty at that time.
Bacchus posted an identical one with a flan crack (AU). I won't add my worn out Belgian 10 cts for today .

Yes, it's interesting that early use of cupro-nickel was always as an alternative to bronze, ie used for the lowest value coins. I think the switch to "artificial silver" came later post WW1

Possibly because it required greater strike pressure, which wore out coin dies quicker--as evidenced by the die cracks on this coin. It took better steel alloys in the 20th C. to make CuNi coinage more practical.
