Post A Coin With An Unusual Denomination!

Here is my 1858 Quarter Anna MS65RD

@ 'Fuzzy317', while those might seem unusual for the modern American, 2,3,4,1/2 etc are common denominations for the world coin collector.

And @ 'philadelphian', yes the 2/3 denomination is unusual, as coin you can find 2/3 Thalers from some German states though.

Here another which is quite unusual (especially since it's in the decimal system):




15 Bani 1960 Romania

how about 1968 Angola 2-1/2 Escudos


or
1968 Ireland 6 Pence

3 Somonii from Tajikistan.

7 1/2 Skar 15-60 (1926) Theocracy of Tibet

Yes and No, it depend on the perspective.
Is a Quarter a 25 cent piece?
While they have the same value, the have as denomination 1/4 respectively 25 of the unit they refer to.

Btw, while the standard British Lsd system had Pound at 20 Shilling and Shilling at 12 Pennies, the fractions of the Shilling in Scotland, Guernsey and the Isle of Man where at times different.

1/3 Farthing 1868 Great Britain

With this the list so far is:

1, 2, 2 1/2, 3 ,4 , 6, 7 1/2, 12 1/2, 15, 20, 30, 50000000000
(2/3), 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/8, 1/12, 1/13, 1/48, 1/600

@ 'nalaberong', might as well add one each of the more common ones to get a complete (as far as possible) list of denomination multiples/fractions together in this topic

Actually, the Russians were the first in modern times to systematically introduce a decimal-based currency system, and they had their fair share of "odd" units. The "15 bani" from Romania posted above is modelled on the Russian/Soviet 15 kopek, an "odd denomination" the Russians have always incorporated into their decimal system. Outside the Warsaw Pact, "15" denominated coins are much harder to come by, though the Bahamas is one notable exception.

The coin club meeting topic last night was "Seven", and like the other members I struggled to find anything Topical. The only "7" denomination I have is a rather ugly and beat-up 7 kreuzer from the Swiss canton of Freiburg, 1787. I only bought it because you can still clearly see the "7" denomination-mark in the centre of the cross-of-Fs:



Another coin I've noted in by database has having an "odd denomination" is my 21 heller from the German city-state of Bocholt, 1762. Again, neither the coin nor the picture are particularly high quality, but you can clearly see the denomination-mark:
