1769 should be here in less than two weeks! In the meantime, here is a Heller from the German City State of Hesse-Cassel dated 1790 AD.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

5 kopek Russia weight is about 51 grams If the mintage stated on NGCcoin ( 25.841.000 ) is correct, they used about 1.3 million kilos of copper to produce the 1789 issue.... :-)   |

1 Grosz from Poland dated 1789 AD. The attribution is Kopicki 2221.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

For 1789, I have two coins of the same type. Both of these are tin 1 pitis coins from Palambang (Malay Peninsula), but one is an error date. This one has the full date of 1203:  While this one has the date of 123:  I am not sure how one could miss a digit in a date, but there is also an example of a crude 0 added to try to fix the error. I, however, do not own one of those. This is one of the few examples in my entire collection where I have two coins of the same type.  |

Maybe we should have a thread with coins of odd composition: - not copper (brass, bronze), gold (electrum), silver (billon), nickel or iron (steel). - allow only tin, lead, platinum, palladium, zinc, iridium, ceramics/stone, wood/paper/cardboard/fiber, plastic/ivory, rhenium, cobalt, titanium, niobium, bismuth, antimony, etc. |
