*** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! ***I just bought this one for less than $3. I guess nobody collects Austrian coins. I may have to start, if I can get nice big copper coins like this so cheap!

That's a beautiful piece, especially at such a low price. As far as cents per year, though, there are dealers that sell low grade late Roman bronzes (ca. 1700 years old) in a junk bin for a dollar. That's a little under 0.06 cents per year.  |

World Coins offer an endless variety of beautiful coins for a few cents or a few dollars.
Pretty piece.

I'll keep an eye out for some of those. If they were proportional, the 30K would weight 277g!
