Belgian 5 and 2 Francs 1868   You most often find the 2 Francs very worn, whereas 5 Francs coins are fairly easy to find in a decent grade. |

Prussia (German State) 2 Pfenninge or 1/180 Thaler (on the 'obverse')  Thalers were still minted in several German states. Upon unification, the thaler was set equivalent to 3 Mark. The Mark inherited (and was part of) the non-decimal division of the Thaler. Initially, 1 Mark was divided in 120 Pfenninge. "Scheidemünze" means the coin contains less copper metal value than its face value indicates. This was the case in nearly all countries after 1860, when copper coins were shrunk. Yet one needs to be German to mention it so explicitly on any copper coin. |

Italy - Papal States 4 soldi / 20 c.; mintage = 4,876,000:   This is a 36mm monstrosity of a coin that weighs 20 grams. It must have taken a heavy hit to get bent like it is.. almost like a horse stepped on it.
