1803 East India Company 5 Cash:

This is my only coin dated 1803! We are going back into the dark days of Mad King George, when British coin issues were few and far between!

We have had copper and silver for 1803 (very nice East India coin, NumisRob!), here is the gold:

France year 12 (1803-1804), 40 francs.



Year 12 is according to the French revolutionary calendar which was still in use at this time. The revolutionary year lasted from Sept-Sept, so this coin is from 1803-1804.

Sweden 1/12 Skilling 1802 - I've had this since I was a little kid - thought it was the most valuable coin in the world.
