Inspired by the thread from 'NumisRob' of 26 days of alphabetic country names (and I hope that after a cooling off period there will be another one of that), here is another to the idea. Lets post for 26 days starting on the 6th of this month coins with generic denominations, ie for example: Sixpence is under P, Hemidrachm under D and Reichsmark is under M. And as in the other topic: Any coin issuing entity past or present is acceptable, so you can post German city states or coins from parts of the Ancient World! Please be careful not to show a picture with "cuartos" written on it under "quartos" (which might be the listing title in a catalogue.) So the listing would be Oct 06 - A Oct 07 - B Oct 08 - C ... wonder how many Cents will be coming  Oct 09 - D ... and all those Dollars Oct 10 - E Oct 11 - F Oct 12 - G Oct 13 - H Oct 14 - I Oct 15 - J Oct 16 - K Oct 17 - L Oct 18 - M Oct 19 - N Oct 20 - O Oct 21 - P Oct 22 - Q Oct 23 - R Oct 24 - S Oct 25 - T Oct 26 - U Oct 27 - V Oct 28 - W Oct 29 - X Oct 30 - Y Oct 31 - Z This allows to start in November with another sequence if someone has an idea. Get your scanners ad cameras ready, if you have not already all your coins digitised. |

Great idea, Medieval! Thanks, appreciate your comment and hope to see plenty unusual denominations posted by you  @ '0xDA71D' any unusual or (in the western world) barely known denomination is welcome - another "Q" is nice, hope you have one where it is written on and you can point out the characters. Having said that, there are plenty coins where the specific denomination is not spelled out on the coin, especially older ones (good example being 'Antoninianus' - leave it to someone else to post one of those, have some other "A"s up my sleeves. Btw, for the date I will be going by the clock shown at the top right and wait for 0:00:01am Monday to start posting coins - otherwise might start too early for most with Australia being ahead of most countries especially with summer time having started today. And 'NumisRob', another possibility for a thread (not necessarily a 26 day one) might be to post unusual denominations, could be fun and educational,like: Starting off with 1, next day 2 and 1/2, then 3 and 1/3, etc - question would be, where to fit 3/4 in ... and how to manage gaps (maybe after one day without a fitting one posted post the next suitable one, eg if there is no 7 or 1/7 posted go on to 8 and 1/8 or whatever someone can post as next. Yes, there are some unusual ones like 1/13 Shilling from the Channel Islands or the fractions of Thalers from the German states (or the relevant Mark, several different Marks [which were local weight units originally] were used.

Thanks for posting
and thanks for posting this coin, it was my second choice ready to be posted.
First, the coin is catalogue number Y#23.
What else is there to say?
It is dated in one of the many different calendar systems which have been used in Thailand.
The date is "109" in the Rattanakosin Sok, so the date is normally written as RS109.
The formal starting date of the era is the 6th April 1782 which means that RS109 started in 1890, as you stated.

Now where are the coins with an actual letter A? As you can see from the posts following after yours there are denominations where the name is spelled out with 'latin' letters. Since there are plenty denominations starting with "A" I only prepared three in different script Two of them are posted, 'Abazi' and 'Att' and while the 3rd denomination is posted as well, I'll add the following:   1/2 Anna VS1945 from Indore (Indian Princely State, it is dated in the Vikrama Samvat an era which started in 56 BC, so the coin is from 1888. But I promise that the (first) coin I post tomorrow will be nice and easy with the denomination in 'latin' script and the date in the current common era. Thanks everyone for posting. |

Medieval, here's for you...  I'm no expert in ancient coins, but I think this is an Antoninianus of Claudius II Gothicus from about 270. |

Medieval, here's for you... Thanks - the picture looks like a photo made from an impression made with the coin, you haven't fully attributed it yet? But it's another day, so let's start with "B". As promised the first coin I am posting here today will be using latin script.   50 Bani 1873 from the Kingdom of Romania KM[CE]#9 |
