Excellent coins, GLB and Dearborn!
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Quote: Interesting pair, Hondo. What made you purchase these two coins? NumisEd, I've always been attracted to international coins. I have far more of them - especially France and Mexico - than US coins. The Friesland 2 Stuivers was an impulse buy because I liked the rampant lion.

Quote: Great additions GLB Thank you, Bryan. Quote: I really like the design of that D-Day coin, where did you get it from? The coins were produced at The Royal Mint in South Wales. I ordered my coins from SD Bullion here in the US.

Now yours is a 2 pound coin (quid not weight) there is also a 1 pound silver coin that goes with this with a different design...

That is the Alderney 1 oz coin based on one of the Channel Islands near Normandie. The islands were occupied by Germany for most of the war.
