Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 05/25/2017 12:01 pm These have always been a favorite of mine, just for the novelty of the design: India Princely State of Bundi Silver Rupee The coin on the left is the first type, minted 1858-1886, and simply says "VIC/TORIA/QUEEN/(Date)" in English on the obverse, and "RAM/SINGJHI/(Date)" in Devanagari with the VS date on the reverse. The second type was minted from 1886-1900 and features a Katar, or push dagger, which is a cultural symbol of Bundi much like the Katana is to Japan. Bundi sent several decorative Katars to England as a gift for Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1886, and the design was kept until coin production stopped in the State in 1932.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 05/29/2017 6:08 pm I was passively trying to assemble a Canadian set from ebay lots a couple years ago. Here are a few of my favorites with Queen Vic: Nova Scotia Cent 1864 Prince Edward Island Cent 1871 Newfoundland 10 Cents 1896 Canada Cent 1876 Canada Cent 1859 Some other fun ones to throw in: Jersey 1/13 and 1/26 shillings, an artifact of the conversion from the French Livre to the Pound, where the Jersey coins were worth 12/13ths of the British equivalent. Some minted under her authority that don't have her name or image: Guernsey 2 doubles 1899 (equal to a farthing) British Ionia 30 lepta, 1851 And finally my rarest (official) coin, British Honduras 50 cents 1901 (mintage 10,000) Edited by Finn235 05/29/2017 6:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
