DrPeper23 Valued Member United States 63 Posts	Posted 07/13/2022 12:21 am So what I was able to find in reverse order. 3rd one https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...ia51010.html 2nd one looks like Franz Joseph on the front. So either Austrian or Hungarian from 1848-1916 Some examples to illustrate my point. What is slightly confusing to me, is that crown doesn't match either the Austrian, Hungarian, or Bohemian crowns on the reverse. Which is slightly odd. As all the examples I have seen of a Habsburg coin have used one of those crowns. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coins...garian_krone 1st one Couldnt find that exact one, but seems like some kind of trade token. http://numismaclub.com/category/286..._/index.html found this list of tokens. might be in there Edited by DrPeper23 07/13/2022 12:32 am Report this Post to the Staff

I believe the second one is a piece of play money, vaguely resembling a British silver penny. The third is an "unofficial coin", or "fantasy coin", denominated "one ecu" - the ecu (or ECU) was what the euro was called prior to 1999. With all the talk of a "united European currency", people started making their own fantasy coins to illustrate what such ecu-based coins might look like. The "1999" date on this coin is unusual, as the ecu officially changed over to the euro on 1st January 1999 and the ecu ceased to exist. So if I had to guess, this coin was actually made prior to 1999. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
