Yeah, that is the only other modern denomination (apart from Ngultrum) I know about
and I had a 10 Ngwee prepared in case no-one posted one.
How come you didn't post a 'Mark' yesterday? Was really waiting for Mark, Markka, etc to be posted.
Finally 'TypesetsbyJ' came to the rescue.
Wonder if anyone will post some one or more of the older denominations starting with 'N'.
Else we will have to wait until 'O' comes along.

Apparently there's a Naira too (from Nigeria).
I have a Neugroschen coin from some 19th century German place, but I don't think it counts any more than new pence do. I do have a few Byzantine pentanummiums (Byzantine experts: what's the actual plural of pentanummium?) but the only one I currently have photos of is a bit too unidentified otherwise (as in the only thing I know of it is that it's a pentanummium, and that only because of the prominent letter).

(surprised that you don't have one amongst your 8200+. but you might have just forgotten). Yep, I had missed that one. Too late to post one now as someone else has already done it. Steve  |

Pity 'january1may' you missed posting your Pentanummium (aka 5 Nummi), here starts 'O':   Ore 1877 Kingdom of Norway |

This one could have been posted as an L for Lepton, but it's also denominated as 2 Obols (DIOBOLON)  |

Yes, I agree 'davidrj', the 'diobolon' (= 2 obols) is clearly visible. (Note: the plural of Lepton is as written on the coin Lepta.) Btw, I love coins which have more than one script, more than one denomination or more than one dating system used. Here is how an Obol from way back looks like, when it was still a silver coin (the holes are not a part of the design though  ).   Obol (c.205BC-171BC) Baktrian Kingdom |

Let me squeeze in another 'O' denomination:  Onluk AH1115/x (1703++) Constantinople mint Ottoman Empire Note: The other side is nearly flat, not worth showing a picture of it. |

Off to 'P' where there are so many variants of Penny, Pfenning, Penigow, Penniae etc and many others:   1/2 Penny 1709 Isle of Man (semi-independent with the Earls of Derby as suzerains) |

Now we need an Irish Punt. Show one if you have. But I can offer something in a different script:   10 Prutot JE5709 (1949) Israel |
