Great additions! Love that 1943 GB 2 Shillings NumisRob. 1943 Australia. From 1942-1944 (WWII) the US Minted several silver coins for Australia. Here are a couple more.   The next one was not minted in the US.

First I have to comment on the juxtaposition of the last 1944 entry and the first 1943 entry (which I am guessing was intentional). The 1944 1 franc coin was issued by the French Vichy (occupied) government. Pepactonius' very neat Madagascar coin bears the cross of Lorraine: the symbol of Free France in WWII. This in turn is followed by a Hungary coin bearing the same double barred cross (on the Hungarian coat of arms, reverse) as the Madagascar coin. In medieval heraldry, this cross moved from Hungary to Anjou and Lorraine in the 14th century. It remained a symbol of Lorraine until its absorption into the French state at the end of the 18th century. Nice historic sequence in this thread! Kutch 1 trambiyo SH 2000 (1943):
