No the guy has zero feedback and I do not risk that

Can't blame you for that.

500th anniversary of the Great Russian State - Peteropablo Fortress in Saint Petersburg and the Great Peter Navy.



Sorry for the crap pictures

Now why do I get an Invalid Item alert when I try to access that page? ;-)

Here is another ship coin - and this one even has two! It is from the "Polish Coinage" series and shows, on one side, a 5 zl coin from 1936 featuring a vessel:



The same ship can be found on the other side, along with the obverse of the 1936 piece:

Oooh, I must have that one.

You don't have last year's quarter???

I was just looking through some world coins, and I noticed I had one with a ship on it :)Its from Matla and its a 1972, and its a 10 cent piece. I also found some British half pennies, from the years 1952, '56, '59, '64, and '67. And I have 3 2$50 coins from Portugal with ships on them. And 2 1 Drachma from Greece...not to mention my canadian dimes Wow, I never realized how many coins there actually are with ships on them.

But of course, doesn't everybody?

Nope

want one?

I think I have a spare one

I'm interested

Actually I have never even seen one. What does it look like (besides the ship it presumably has)?

Here are a few that I have:
Finland


Icebreaker Urho class
Icebreaker Tarmo class
tall ship (this scan is not very good)

Estonia


US

half a ship

I love that Estonian piece

Here is an interesting link: Very recent too, but you can call it quite lame too at the same time...

Enjoy...

Hi everybody - great thread!! Just wanted to let know to other ship lovers few great links with a plenty of good ship coins images:

Here are 3 pages -about 150 shipcoins

Portuguese Ships - about 50 images of Portuguese comms with ships


ENJOY!!!

Where on these coins does the raised edge lettering appear? I'm stymied!

Errm, on the edge? If you look at the side with the ship, you can see a little bit of the edge lettering near the "ITAL" ...

Christian

WOW, I'd been looking on the front and back near the edge. Never struck me to actually take the coin from the holder and look at the edge itself. Thank you!

woow... this is one of the best ever! Is it a coin or a medal? Is it an US coin (1 dollar commemorative)??

Does this count as a coin with a ship?
