That's a great shooting medal! It goes nicely with the "creatures with rifles" series!

I hadn't considered that, but you could well be right, but very few countries actually had their own mints. Australia and Canada did, but I think New Zealand contracted with foreign mints. It would certainly be worth a little digging into, which sounds like a fun exercise to me.

The crowned portrait was unique to the various Commonwealth nations, but they didn't all use it. Canada, Australia and New Zealand all used an uncrowned portrait. Of course, most have now switched to the older portraits of the queen, but Belize (formerly British Honduras) continues to use her young portrait! Nice coins, by the way!

I really like that Hercules 5 francs! The 1844 is really nice, too.
