No problem, they are lovely.
Is that Greenland set by any chance from the same maker (Joseph Lang)? I know he likes making fantasies, I've seen his creations for places like Cabinda.

I see initials on lower right of the 50 Kroner, and this page says yes it is JL ...

No worries, it's in the right place. We're going down the list of issuers, so if in doubt pull out the coin's Numista page and see where it's listed under.

I was lucky, I got mine for about 90 euro from a dealer who didn't really know much about foreign coins.
A side question though; how would you grade my coin?

I asked because there's a vast difference in pricing (at least according to Krause) between VF and EF. 200 dollars' worth, in fact... which is why I'm hoping it could make EF.
But even if we go conservative and say it's VF, I still got it on the lower end of the expected price bracket. Hooray me!

Quote: "Mr. Midnight"War time shilling and florin
I was just about to post my own!
Oh well, here are the George V pre-war counterparts from the 1930s:
1934-36 Fiji Shilling, Florin - George V

I regret only that there were no half crowns or crowns from Fiji. Not sure if I like their coins' aesthetics though; they seem to be going for the minimalist approach on their reverses, but on the other hand the portrait of George V used is one of my favourites.

My only coin from Finland worth posting; and that's only because of its' brilliance. Gotta love that red-brown colour on well preserved coppers!
