Finally, 1838.. time to post one of my all-time favorite designs. Actually I have two of these, with different assayer's initials. 1838 South Peru (Cuzco) 8 reales; assayer 'B.A.':  1838 South Peru (Cuzco) 8 reales; assayer 'M.S.'; (photo'd through slab):   North and South Peru at this time were independent states that only lasted for a couple of years, which was long enough to have produced some truly fantastic coinage.

"1838" 1/2 Gulden, Baden-Württemberg A silver medalet/token struck in 1875 or thereafter to commemorate Carl Knorr of Knorr Soup fame upon his death. High fineness silver, very attractively toned, and in a black presentation snapcase lined with blue velvet. The obverse is a portrait of Knorr, and the reverse is the reverse used on 1/2 Gulden coins issued by Württemberg in 1838, the year in which Knorr founded his famous soup mix company in Heilbronn.

Of course, it just happened to be today (yesterday forum-time) that I acquired another coin from 1839. Oh well—guess I have something new to post in the fifth edition.  ----- 1837: 1 penny from Lower Canada.
