Funny, after posting the pics from the World Coin Gallery I see that they have the second side of KM# 1 upside down.

Nice collection. I see you already have the Aruba and Netherlands Antilles 5-cent pieces. I used to live on the Antilles and still have a glass jar sitting around with a bunch of those square pieces.

I am still looking for the Aruba 5 florin coin, and the
Sri Lanka 10 rupees IYSH (International Year for the Shelter of the Homeless) commemorative coin.
Both are larger copper nickel types.

The intention with my square coin collection was to keep the costs down, and have a bit of fun, so that is the reason why my collection is composed of modern machine made coins, that were made for circulation.
Because of their numismatic interest, I will eventually acquire a few kilppe coins, but they are rather expensive, and they will not necessarily be part of of my square coin collection, as they will require a more secure form of storage.

hi sel_69l - it was just an example to show a bit of this wide-spread area.
just to give you an overview and to enjoy the different mind of coins... ;)
oh yes, most of the german and european "Klippen" are expensive.

It looks to me that collecting square coins could be quite a demanding focus. If you looked to older issues from the Islamic world you could have quite a challenge ahead of you. For example( I am not recommending the coin or the seller rather just using the listing to highlight how extensive the field could turn out to be): http://www.ma-shops.com/almanumis/i...2678c6747e45I recall Aussi once looked at producing square coins.....the trial strikes and patterns are rare and very expensive |
