Coins by year - 1900-1851 (Completed) [solved]

282 posts

» Quick access to the last post

Rules/Suggestions:
  • 24 hours per year, starting at UTC/GMT/Zulu midnight (google "zulu time" if you're unsure what the current time is).
  • Include a link to the Numista catalog for the coin(s) you're showing, so it's easy for people to see more info.
---- If it's not in the catalog, please create a new catalog entry if possible
  • Picture must be of your coin, currently in your collection. Not what you just ordered on ebay, or a coin you sold last year, or the photo from the Numista catalog, etc.
  • Try to limit the number of pictures to help with page loading times (combine multiple coins into one picture when practical), and keep them all in one post.
  • Non-Gregorian dates count for the Gregorian year they MOST overlap.
---- HERE is a reference for Arabic dates if you need it.
---- Non-dated coins made only one year are good for that year.

​​You do! All coins are awesome!
​I actually just realised I have all the Transvaal denominations under 5 Shillings except the 2 shillings (florin) coin, so it shouldn't be too hard a type to get. (8

Speaking of which:

1892 Transvaal 1 Penny
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces18643.html
Fun fact, this coin was actually minted in Berlin, before the rest of the type's mintage came from Pretoria after 1893. The British were extremely unpopular on the European continent in the 1890s and around the turn of the 20th century because of the Second Boer War, perceived as aggression against the (pale skinned, by the way) descendants of Dutch settlers rather than just another conquest of some "primitive" African tribe or kingdom.

And I can't believe no one's posted this classic coin yet!

1892 United States 1/2 Dollar (Columbian Exposition)
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4396.html
Probably the first ever official US commemorative coin, correct me if I am mistaken! Wish they had minted less of these (you can get them in XF+ for well under 20 euro) and more of the Columbian quarter instead.....

@Mr.Midnight
How much were those two coins? I have yet to get that type for myself, and I cannot find them at a reasonable price here....
French Indochina 1 Centime 1892 KM#1

​You are correct, that was the original commemorative half dollar.

The Tunisian 1 Fr can be found in the 10-20 range and the 2Fr in the 20-40 range. I have a '91 50 centime to post here tomorrow morning.

Well, I misread my own inventory, i thought I had a Tunisian 50c., but i only have a franc.
same type as yesterday's post, sorry to say, but it is a nice coin.


There are three types of these, the 1891-92 Ali III types are fairly common, and most dates of the Muhammed V era 1907-1918 can be found with patience, particularly the WWI years, but the one year only Muhammed IV 1904 1 and 2 fr. - I have never seen one for sale.

1891 -- British North Borneo Company, 1/2 cent:

​Hmm, I have the 0.50, 1 and 2 francs of Muhammed V, but no Ali III types. As a French protectorate Tunisia is definitely in my sights but I have other primary targets at the moment to spend my money on (the WWII Free French issues in particular).

Anyway, for 1891:

Another bronze, silver and gold trifecta for 1890:

1890 -- German East Africa, 1 pesa:



https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces11909.html
1890 - United Kingdom - 4 Shillings (Double Florin) - Silver

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces11098.html
It had a nickname of 'barmaids ruin' as they would give the wrong change thinking it
was a higher denomination (not marked on the coin) so would give more change in error.
Presumably they thought it was a Crown (5 Shillings) and paid out 1 Shilling extra.
So the Royal Mint bowed to public pressure and these only lasted four years (1887-1890).

1890 - North Borneo - 1 Cent

Colorized version (1889):


1887 United Kingdom 1 Crown - Victoria
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces11102.html
Known as the Jubilee bust, Queen Victoria reportedly hated how she looked on coins here.


1887 British India 1 Rupee - Victoria
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces3719.html
This portrait remained in use for nearly forty years on coins of British India and some of the princely states, from 1862 to 1901. I'm fairly sure it's at least partially based off her Gothic bust.

1886 -- United Kingdom, 3 pence:

Just noticed that in the past few days we've posted every British denomination above the florin for Queen Victoria's Jubilee bust; the half crown, double florin, crown, half sovereign, sovereign, £2 and £5 coins. :love:

Anyway, for 1886:



1886 Belgium 1 Franc - Leopold II
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces282.html
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces7140.html
Both the French and Dutch types. Leopold II is known today primarily for the "Congo Horrors"; a series of atrocities committed by private rubber companies against native Congolese, in the Congo Free State, a territory placed under Leopold II's private control until international outrage led to it's surrender to the Belgian government in 1908.
