I would like for someone with more knowledge of imperial Russian coins to look at this ruble. I picked it up this weekend at my coin shop, from a grouping of other Russian coins. It looked good enough to me to risk purchasing it, but I am by far not an expert on Russian Numismatics. I look forward to reading your opinions. Thank you in advance. The coin appears to be a 1727 Ruble of Peter II, first year of issue. The mint mark is not really readable, due to an imperfection in the flan. I do not know if the imperfection is due to strike or pour.

I would love to have both of these in my collection, they're fantastic pieces! However, the silver octagon beats the mining token by just a hair.

One of my favourite coins, actually. Haitian 50 Gourdes, 1975, International Year of Women. Honestly, I've never decided if they're wearing gauzy dresses, just their hair, or what.

I'm waiting for 1601. >.> <.<

1610 Grossus of Prince Gabriel Bathory, Transylvania. Mint NB

I have a 1610. >< In fact, I just bought it today. Hopefully someone will post a 1611 soon so I can show it off!

Another 1622. This is one of my favourite coins; a copper 8 maravedi coin of Spain, restruck to a lower denomination at a later date. Mint NR, Nuevo Reina (Bogota, Colombia.)

1624 silver coin of Sigismund III.

It's pretty enough to be drool-worthy in the photo.

Bump! It's been a couple weeks... No one has a 1647 to add?

Ah, we've been down this road before, but I never get tired of seeing gorgeous rainbow coins. This is my absolute favourite: Netherlands 1 cent. Rescued from the bargain bin.
