USSR, 10 kopeks, 1936

This was undergraded and I was happy to pick it up for $2

Notice how there are far fewer wraps around the wheat ears than there were for my 1938 coin. This was the last year of this emblem before more languages were added.

The early USSR coin designs are all quite nice. They probably cost a lot more before 1991

1936 New Guinea Penny

How-Far-Back-Can-We-Go?-Second-Edition!-Ended-At-1492-Waiting-On-1491

Other than Indian Native States coins (such as Bacchus2's lovely Kutch 5 kori) the only British Empire coins struck bearing the name of Edward VIII all had holes in them, so there was no need for a portrait. The British West Africa tenth-of-a-penny, halfpenny and penny, East Africa 5 and 10 cents and the Fiji penny all had the same basic designs as George V's issues. The New Guinea penny is a little more interesting as it was a new design not issued before this reign.

I love the design on these coins from India. A 1936 Half Pice.

Today, I'm returning to former Belgian Congo with the large (33 mm) brass 5 francs coin. It was issued in only two consecutive years, 1936 being the first one. This coin also was the first issue with a nominal value above one franc and the last one picturing a Belgian King (Leopold III) on the obverse. All later colonials would have a more 'African' motive on the obverse.

The more 'african' motive starts off on the reverse of this coin, with a vivid roaring lion, (rather than the heraldic lion stylized on quite a few European coins).

Even though every 'darkside' coin collector and his dog owns a few Geo. V coins, I'd be remiss if I failed to show this lovely high grade chocolate-toned specimen pulled from a melt tub a couple of years ago.

Mine is a second post too, but I think we are ok since we are sharing with others - I waited 6 1/2 hours to let everyone else have a turn (and I was getting worried that everyone else was done posting until I saw your pretty coin).
