Just for fun, here is a silver 30 lepta from British Ionia, 1851:  That one wasn't cheap, but they are worth some serious money in grades above VG or F. |

Here is my junkbox contribution. Seems like a bit of an understatement for an exact match. I've got nothing, though I suppose I may as well participate. This one has two lions (there's one in the circle at 12 o'clock), though the second can't exactly be considered prominent, so I don't expect points. Flemish leeuwengroot, 1354-1359  |

Last call... if ya gottem, post 'em.
I think this round can be closed just as soon as pepactonius shows us that 'exact match' (which hopefully is in better condition than my shabby specimen.)
Thanks to everyone who participated.
Those Ionian coins are super.. maybe I will luck into one some fine day.

St Helena -- 1/2 penny, 1821:   I guess this means there are 3 of us on this thread that have these. If anyone wants one of their own, there are many for sale right now on ebay. ------------------------------------ (edited so images do not show in post) Now that the round is over they were added back by the Staff for posterityEdited by pepactonius

Winner of this round (by a leap and a bound): pepactonius. I believe Arkie posted his exact match before mine, and should be the rightful winner of this round. I would not have posted my exact match, unless someone else posted an exact match first. Note: I edited my earlier post so that the images do not show. Edited by pepactonius
