How Far Back Can We Go? Fifth Edition! Ended At 1461 Waiting On 1460 C. E. (A. H. 864)

1951 República Argentina.
5 centavos.

I wish I could find a way to justify a boliviano for my collection, 'cause I've never seen so many differnt motifs on one side of a coin: sunny face, mountain (I assume that's the profile of a well known Andean peak?), architecture, animal (llama), flora (palm tree).
Thanks, dorado.
I have two lightweights (aluminum)

1951 - Festival of Britain 5 Shillings, Cu-Ni Proof
28.28g and 38.61mm diameter.

Commemorates the 400th anniversary of the Crown as an English coin denomination. King George VI's familiar Paget bust faces left on the obverse; the reverse is Pistrucci's legendary St George motif as seen on many a Sovereign.

With original packaging and card. Blue and hazy brown toning over reflective surfaces with some cameo effect. Lettered edge.

These are very beautiful coins for copper-nickel issues, toning up like Jefferson nickels or Buffalo nickels do, and the regular proof and specimen strikes are both quite affordable at less than $25-30 each; other than the numismatic theme, I like them because they are a bit less commonly seen than the 1953 QEII coronation crowns, of which almost three times as many were struck by The Royal Mint.

(Higher mintage notwithstanding, the 1953 QEII Proof strikes are twice as expensive!)
