How Far Back Can We Go? Sixth Edition! Ended At 1380 Waiting On 1379

1864-A 3 Pfennige (Prussia)




1864-B 5 Pfennige (Saxony)

Point taken about the tiny coins - got even tinier ones now, 5 cent coins of the Netherlands from 1850 - I can not believe how teensy they are (Remember a Guilder is a barely shilling size coin - so 5 cents of it, is not like a hlaf dime or half dino - this is a coin barely the size of a Maundy penny).

But you will have to wait until 1850 to see it

1863 starts with a pair of early Italians for me.





The 2 Lire is quite nice and the 1 Lire is decent but again holey. Considering these are junk silver pieces (Meaning the coins have $9 of silver in them and they cost me $10 the pair - whose complaining).

Historic and beautiful pieces from early Risurgimento era (I think the Pope was still acting autonomous and parts of the north were owned by Austria - Hungary).
