Round the world - Numista style - Round 2 (Gambia - Numidia)

274 posts

» Quick access to the last post

Now that the first thread has reached its logical conclusion, I can post the second.

Here's the idea...
Quote: "neilithic"Start at the beginning of the country list in the Numista catalogue and post a picture of a coin from that country. The next person then posts a picture from the next country in the list and so on. Starting with Afghanistan, can we work our way all the way through to Zimbabwe without skipping any countries?
I've lost count... but here is the Gambia, one of the world's narrowest countries and a large exporter of peanuts.


All of these rules still apply, of course!
Quote: "neilithic"1. You can't post more than one country in a row, give other people a chance to have a go.
2. If we can't find a coin from a specific country, if we get consensus from people participating, we'll skip the country and perhaps come back to it at the end of the competition
3. You can re-post from a country that's already been posted if you have a particularly nice or rare coin and you didn't get there in time.
Let's keep it going with... Gaul! (or perhaps we should just skip that and move right to Georgia?)
Gaul

Georgia: Queen Rusudan (1223-1245) AE fals (Lang-13; Langlois-30)

Obv: In center; Asomtavruli ႰႱႬ (RSN), standing for RuSudaNi, surmounted by the queen’s monogram being a part of the ornamental device. Surrounded by a linear border. Asomtavruli characters ႵႩႬჃႫႦ (K’KNUMZ, standing for the date formula K’oroniKoN UMZ, i.e. 447, which corresponds to 1227, the frozen date) are placed into the right, bottom and left compartments between the ornamental device and the linear border
Rev: name and titles of Rusudan in Arabic in four lines across field surrounded by a beaded or a linear border;

الملكة الملوك والملكات; Queen of Kings and Queens
جلال الدنيا والدين; Glory of the World, Kingdom and Faith
روسدان بنت تامار ظهير المسح; Rusudan, daughter of Tamar, Champion of the Messiah
عزالله انصاره; May God increase [her] victories

The Georgian year is encoded using the "Paschal cycle". This dating system is based on the creation date being March 22, 5604 BC. From this date, they ran through a 532-year cycle. So, Year 1 was March 22, 5604 BC for the 1st cycle. And the 13th cycle's Year 1 was March 22, 781 AD. For years 346 to 532, add 780 to obtain the corresponding year in AD. The year starts off at March 22nd for each AD year. So, 420 + 780 = March 22, 1200 AD. For more information, please see Sweeny...

19 coins from the 3rd Reich, it would be too much to show all of them... and over 66 from the full country (Germany 1871-1948)... And I don't count Bundesrepublik Deutschland and its Deutsche Mark, or euros, and a few Ostpfennig coins from Deutsche Demokratische Republik... Including German states but excluding post-WWII Saar, it's a provisory total of 211 coins from Germany. #2 in coin amount after French coins.

I would say there is an acceptable exception... If not allowed, someone will have to post the next country before.

7 members of the 300 countries club have Guadeloupe so hopefully one of them will be on soon to post it. Maybe give it till the end of the day and if no joy continue with the next country and fill this one in later?

​Sorry chomp-master, didn't see your previous post above, quoting the same figure! z|
Changing the alphabetical order to avoid breaking rule 1 seems to me a very bad option.
So in my opinion, or we wait longer till someone else posts Guadeloupe, or I post one of my three coins from Guadeloupe. Before we go further with the next country.
Guadeloupe?!:.
