Today I have a very interesting Byzantine 5 Nummi coin featuring a Chi-Rho or #Christogram, an early Christian symbol. For a bit of extra interest, it is partly offset. More on all that here: https://coinofnote.com/byzantine-5-nunni-justin-i-518-527/

I'd like to start posting something with a religious link on Sundays, but using what hashtag? #HolyPicture #SundayImage #ChristianCoin - open to any ideas?

Last week I shared a Roman coin from Gallienus featuring a stag. This week, I have another from the same series, featuring an Antelope. Even more interesting, like my Henry III penny, it has been cut in half! But why?

Now a more modern one I just like the look of. 100 Francs from #Tunisia, 1950. Not least of which because it is a coin with a "Design" no one knows! What is the design? You decide! In fact, do please tell me, as I am curious now... https://coinofnote.com/tunisia-100-francs-1950-1370/ #SaturdayNightCoinShow #CoinCollecting #Numismatics #Crescent Should have saved this for #WhatIsItWednesday

I love learning about the way things used to be different. Did you know that giving someone a half penny in change used to mean EXACTLY that - a penny, cut in half? Here's one from Henry III's time: 1247 - 1279.

Now, the final part of that rabbit hole the milled cash coins sent me on... What was the last Cash coin anywhere in the world? Unless I'm wrong, it was this one: the Bảo Đại Thông Bảo from #Vietnam More at https://coinofnote.com/vietnam-bao-dai-thong-bao-the-last-cash-coin/ #SaturdayNightCoinShow #History #TheLast #Final #End #Numismatics #CoinCollecting #Cast

Another milled Cash coin is this Guang Xu Tong Bao from #China. Interestingly featuring a square inner rim, but a round central hole. There is an interesting size comparison between this and a cast cash coin of the era at https://coinofnote.com/china-guang-xu-tong-bao-milled/ #SaturdayNightCoinShow #CoinCollecting #History #Numismatics #Cast #Milled #Asia

I find these thin, machine-struck cash coins quite an interesting juncture between the cast cash coins which were used for several thousand years, and modern minting techniques. Here is a Khải Định Thông Bảo 1 Cash coin, which was issued in #Vietnam from 1916-1926. More at: https://coinofnote.com/vietnam-1-cash-khai-dinh-thong-bao-milled/

In the last newsletter, I went down an interesting rabbit hole of Asian coins. It's taken me two weeks of #SaturdayNightCoinShow, to get to sharing them here. The next newsletter is coming out this week, so if you'd like to hear what rabbit holes I end up down this time, without having to wait weeks for me to get to sharing here, you'd best subscribe! https://coinofnote.com/newsletter/ #Numismatics #CoinCollecting #Coins #History #Newsletter

It has been a year since the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. This year, Australian commemorative coins feature her portrait with the years of her reign, 1952-2022. Here is one of the now recent, celebrating Australian women's soccer team, the Matilda's. #royal #matildas #QueenElizabetII #ElizabethII #numismatics

I really wanted an excuse to write up a post on this one - I like tokens with a relevant picture on them like this bus. But after writing up the bus token from Brescia yesterday, I can find even less on this one. So, here is a bus token from the city of Prato - still northern Italy, but not quite as far north as Brescia. It's a simple bus, but it goes fast, as per the speed lines from the wheels! Here is a more serious piece on yesterday's token: https://coinofnote.com/gettone-autofiloviario-italian-bus-token/ #Numismatics #Tokens

I was just playing with a few filters to make the "art" piece for my hashtag question post, but I do like how it came out, so here it is on its own. And I won't make you guess which coin it is - I already did that, it was the What is It coin from the first Newsletter - the Aachen 12 Heller - More on that coin here: https://coinofnote.com/aachen-12-heller-1794/ #Artstodon #CoinArt #Numismatics #NumismaticArt #PhotoArt #PicOfTheDay

@alex Hi Alex, I'd be interested in being listed on Trunk, however I don't neatly fit any of your categories. I post about #Numismatics (coin collecting). Would you please consider adding Numismatics as a category?

On passing counterfeit notes (1826) - a case in which the convicted party ultimately claimed to have purchased them and the box in which they were concealed in "specie and #Quebec bills" from "a man named Page, in Dunham, Lower Canada [Quebec]." We know that cross-border counterfeiting networks existed, though we know relatively little in terms of specifics. #money #history #histodons #CdnHist #HistQC #numismatics #banknotes @histodons

Subscribers to the Coin Of Note #newsletter will have noticed this week that I went down a rabbit hole of fascinating #Asian coins recently. The first of these, is the 1 Cash Qian Long Tong Bao from the Ming dynasty in #China.

Following my post on today being Wattle day for the 1st of September / first day of Spring - Thanks to @jhaue for reminding me of the wattle on the Australian $5 note. Here is one from: https://banknotes.rba.gov.au/australias-banknotes/banknotes-in-circulation/five-dollar/

Also for wattle fans, wattle is featured on the W coin from the Great Australian Coin Hunt 3: Photo from: https://www.ramint.gov.au/great-aussie-coin-hunt-3-0

The first of September is the start of #Spring in #Australia and celebrated as National #Wattle Day. The best I could do, numismatically, is this 2014 #PNC featuring the Floral Emblems of Australia, of which the national flower, Wattle, is around the outside. #NationalWattleDay #Flowers #Numismatics #Medallion

I can't believe it has been 26 years since Princess Diana died. There were many non-circulating tribute coins minted after her death. The only circulating coin to ever feature the princess was this 1981 50c from #Australia minted to commemorate her marriage to (then) Prince Charles. #OnThisDay #Numismatics #History #CoinCollecting #Coinstodon

🪙 Du sens du détail des graveurs monétaires gaulois. Des monnaies gauloises portent en motif principal ou secondaire un sanglier-enseigne. Presque toujours, la queue forme une boucle. Or on retrouve le même détail sur les sangliers-enseignes découverts en fouille. 🐗 #Numismatics

28 August 1749: birth of Johann Wolfgang Goethe in #Frankfurt am Main.

Based on the famous 1828 portrait by Joseph Karl Stieler (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Joseph_Karl_Stieler_portrait_de_Johann_Wolfgang_von_Goethe.jpg)
this large bronze uniface #medal (98mm.) was issued to mark the 150th anniversary in 1899

The entry (# 2352) in Fellner's reference work of Frankfurt-related medals states that only 33 were cast
