Thanks mysilveryears.
I like the big silver, pretty sure I will be posting
a few Peace and Morgans, in the coming weeks.

I think this one is a little better.

1934 D Peace

This crowned portrait of King George V was used on quite a number of Empire and Colonial coins but not on British ones.

The Irish Republic started coining in 1928 (seven years after gaining independence from Britain). It has always been an animal farm on Irish coinage. This 1934 3d coin depicts a hare. Unlike the UK, 6d and 3d were minted in pure nickel (a copper-nickel alloy later on), but the silver shilling, florin and half crown were of a better 0.750 fineness. The legend in Gaelic is stating Irish republic in full (not just 'Eire'). Peculiar is the denomination 'Leat Reul', 'Leat' meaning half; translated to UK slang, that would sound as 'Half a tanner'.

1934 was the last year Belga coins were minted. The Belga = 5 francs, was a failed experiment to make prices look lower (after Belgium went off the gold standard as a result of WW-I). 1934 is the only true key-date for this large nickel coin:

We wellcome King Albert I on this coin, issued during the year he was injured and died when climbing a rock wall.

Some stunning coins on this page!

1934 is one of those years that I have multiple show-worthy pieces.
Might sneak in an extra post later on . . .
Here's the large one, a 'star' peso badly in need of an acetone power wash.

Belgium was having many problems in 1934, this coin is not even a Franc, but it is good for 1 Franc, 'Bon Por'.

Here's another double-dated Spanish coin:

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

The large, obvious 1933 date is the authorisation date; the actual year of issue is the incuse '34' inside the six-pointed stars (very hard to see). This was the only silver peseta issued by the Spanish Republic and was the last time this coin was issued in silver for circulation.
