Ps Dearborn, keeling has an interesting history. You now must get a cocosrupee

Discovery and early history

Historic compass chart of the Cocos islands[19]
The archipelago was discovered in 1609 by Captain William Keeling of the East India Company, on a return voyage from the East Indies. North Keeling was sketched by Ekeberg, a Swedish captain, in 1749, showing the presence of coconut palms. It also appears on a 1789 chart produced by British hydrographer Alexander Dalrymple.[20]

In 1825, Scottish merchant seaman Captain John Clunies-Ross stopped briefly at the islands on a trip to India, nailing up a Union Jack and planning to return and settle on the islands with his family in the future.[21] Wealthy Englishman Alexander Hare had similar plans, and hired a captain - coincidentally, Clunies-Ross's brother - to bring him and a volunteer harem of 40 Malay women to the islands, where he hoped to establish his private residence.[22] Hare had previously served as resident of Banjarmasin, a town in Borneo, and found that "he could not confine himself to the tame life that civilisation affords".[22]

Clunies-Ross returned two years later with his wife, children and mother-in-law, and found Hare already established on the island and living with the private harem. A feud grew between the two.[22] Clunies-Ross's eight sailors "began at once the invasion of the new kingdom to take possession of it, women and all".[22]

After some time, Hare's women began deserting him, and instead finding themselves partners amongst Clunies-Ross's sailors.[23] Disheartened, Hare left the island. He died in Bencoolen in 1834.[24] Encouraged by members of the former harem, Clunies-Ross then recruited Malays to come to the island for work and wives.

Clunies-Ross's workers were paid in a currency called the Cocos rupee, a currency John Clunies-Ross minted himself that could only be redeemed at the company store.[25]

And these arrive friday. But for once I use sellers pics as my photography is subpar at best. He didnt use trueview photos, I dislike them.

These are not so uncommon as the 1935PL
But 2x 1940 2 kronor. one 10 öre 1935 and one 1 krona 1956 (actually the first of this type I have bought)
Combined they cost me less than the 1935, and YES the sole reason I bought them is the patina/toning, I'm weak for wonky coins. but I think the quality is nice to. I noticed now that I think one of the 1940s is a variant with a round 0 in 1940

Nice additions, Moniker!

Great looking coins, Moniker.

I needed a Poland 2 Zlotys 2006 circulating commemorative to complete the 10 Zloty 1932 trio, and since I was already paying for shipping from Poland, and the seller had so many other cool coins....
Poland 2 Zlotys 2006 - History of the Zloty: 10 Zlotys 1932 circulating commemorative

Poland 2 Zlotys 2005 - Expo 2005 Japan

Poland 2 Zlotys 2006 St. Johns Day. A most joyful and exuberant coin! By the way, St. John's Day, which celebrates the birth of John the Baptist, just so happens to be the Summer Solstice (by some strange coincidence)

Poland 2 Zlotys 2007 - History of Zloty: 5 Zlotys 1928

Poland 2 Zlotys 2009 - European Green Lizard (Lacerta viridis)

Poland 2 Zlotys 2010 - Lesser Horseshoe Bat (Rhinolophus hipposideros)

Poland 500 Zlotys 1989 - 50th Anniversary of the Defensive War of Poland
