I collect all kind of coins and not specifically crown coins. The crown coins I find the most interesting are the silver crownsized coins like: 5 pesetas Spain late 19th century Belgian and French 5 francs 19th century Dutch 2 1/2 gulden 19th century untill the 1940's British Crowns and then especially the 19th century St. George slaying the dragon types German talers or German Empire 3 and 5 mark coins US silver dollars (Morgan, Peace) Italian 5 lire Vittorio Emanuele II Turkish 5 and 6 piastres 19th century and so on, and so on.

Does anyone have more information on British and Irish bronze coins that seem to have been in some kind of nickel bath? I have several 1 penny and 2 pence coins that are treated this way. best regards, Peter Paul

for more info you can look at this site http://www.duiten.nl/luiktot1612.htm and look up LUI.47: Liard (koper)(de Chestret 571 - Dengis 994) Altough it's in dutch, I think you can understand the info Best Regards, Peter Paul

Thanks again, Vincent. This is helping me a lot! I do not have more Mamluk coins to determine, but could you also help me out with a few Umayyad falus coins? Best Regards, Peter Paul

Would you identify this as a mamluk coin as well, Vincent? I am not sure about the mintplace but guess it is a Hasan dirham from around 1350. Best Regards, Peter Paul
