Honduras, 2 reales, 1847

A really shoddy provisional issue. Honduras is the archetypical unstable Latin American country.

My favourite 1847 coin - a Gothic crown. It's thought that this coin may have been issued to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Queen Victoria's accession:

The Belgian 10 Centimes coins were massive (20 g) coppers in 1847. My earliest copper still in a decent grade...

Here's my Gothic Crown's 'Ugly Sister' - my 1847 Young Head Crown. These are actually rarer and more expensive in top grades than Gothic crowns - because most of the 140,976 minted were used as currency whereas the vast majority of the 8,000 Gothic crowns were kept as souvenirs.

... and from one of my largest to one of my smallest French coins - a rather sad holed French 1846A (Paris mint) 25 centimes of King Louis Philippe. Unlike the USA, the French never really knew if they wanted a 20c or 25c coin, and they tended to issue one denomination for a few decades, then demonetise it, and then try the other. The last 25c coin was issued in 1940.
