Which ones can you recognize just by the style of the last two digits of the date?

How-Well-Do-You-Know-Your-World-Coins?-2

Second edition!

* The coins are from 1900-1999
* None of the coins are from the US
* There should be no NCLTs among them, as far as I could tell, but there are a few commemoratives
* There should be no duplication with coins already used in the first edition which you can review here.

There will be hints if we come to a standstill. And as there is no punishment for being wrong, feel free to guess away.

Oh, this again! It was great fun the first time and a bit of torment as well.

I had better get busy, then.

Yes, some of them are much less obvious (at least from my point of view) this time around. Though there are some common and easily recognizable ones among them as well.

Yes, that is correct, 90 is a 1990 one franc from Belgium. This was one of the most obvious ones

bart, of course, 83 is a Dutch 5 cent. This was another of the really common and recognizable ones.

TobyJ, that's not correct. Coin #40 is from a British colony but it doesn't feature the British monarch.

Yay, a second edition!

12 looks like either 5 or 10 lepta from Greece (I will guess 5).
I think 27 is a half gulden from Danzig.
And 53 is a Canadian cent.

33 is a 1933 British halfpenny or penny of George V.
12 looks like a 1912 Greek 20 Lepta. I thought it was a 1912 French 1 Franc at first glance, but it has denticles, and a 1912 1 Fr does not.

The 17 looks like a 1780s Bavarian Kreuzer or Thaler.

Tryna, as you have already decided, 01 it's not French, and it's not denominated in centimes either.

Joseph7420, indeed 12 is the Greek 10 lepta coin, 27 is 1/2 gulden from Danzig (beware of fakes with this one if you ever encounter one), and 53 is of course, a regular Canadian cent.

paralyse, correct - 33 is a British halfpenny. The Greek coin has already been guessed by Joseph. The silver French franc was included in the first edition (as coin 18) so I had to search for something different here. Now that you mentioned it, doesn't 14 look similar to the French franc as well?

17 is not from the 1780s as I only included coins from the 1900-1999 date range here, assuming these would be familiar to the largest number of people here. It is from 1917 but not even European. You did get the composition right - it is silver.
