    1992 - mexico 1 peso

     

    possibly a slightly weak strike on the obverse has led to the wear of this coin almost completly rubbing out the obverse design

    1986 500 lira - san Marino

     

    not even that much wear on the coin, however the coin has very little design, and the obverse design, the detail for the most part is nearly gone.

    1976 1 Krone - norway

     

    Age hasn't been good to poor Olav making him completly bald, the reverse design is rather bland, however due to heavy circulation the coin is heavily scratched

    1974 2 Santimat

     

    Age has almost worn the obverse portrait to nothing more then a shape, with only the deeper lines of the facial features and the ears showing, and the legend on the obverse almost worn away, the reverse design also, all details on the raised parts of the coat of arms are flat.

    1989 £1. Isle of Man

     

    age is never kind on the Pound Coin, esepcially here where there are deep scratches all over the obverse from circulation.

    1551 -type 6B London sixpence

     

    both age and clipping has destroyed this once beautiful and scarce coin, the king looks like a ghostly figure on the obverse.

    1696 shilling, scottish arms at date

     

    A rare variaty of a beautiful coin, turned into a love token and almost completly worn away, apart from the key part, and also holed.

    c1649 halfgroat

     

    a boring design at the best of times, however holed and clipped with wear, it looks worse

    1679 Maundy 4D

     

    who knows what hapepned to this, Obverse is destroyed, lots of dents and a hole, hardly any detail left.

    not a fan of Annes Portrait, the coin is worn, stained and has a hole drilled through her head.

    1638 1/4 ore - sweden

     

    not the worst design in the world, I do like the crudeness of it, the issue here is that the coin was made by the casting technique, and has had a lot of extra metal on the design from where the metal has ran.

    1830 1 double, Guernsey

    1855 prince edward Isle 1 cent

     

    the entire design is lettering and the date, the only other thing is a small marking at the bottom on one side. and given the timeframe, are rather boring coin given the designs of many countries around this time.

    1866 III cents -USA

     

    not a fan of the reverse design, the dinks and chips on the obverse do not help the coin either, but I just fine the use of 3 I's and a wreath and nothing else rather boring

    1944 - 2 franc liberation issue

     

    compared to all other french coins, there is little in terms of design, the obverse is just FRANCE and a wreath.

    2004 1 rupee pakistan

     

    only thing going for it is the coin is struck in High relief, however the reverse just looks rushed and drawn quickly rather then neat and tidy.

    1994 5 cents cyprus

     

    never been a fan of these designs, just seems so plain and little about the place, or much there to fill the space.

    1983 5 millime Tunisia

     

    Tunisian coins are usualy full of design, however this one is stuck on Aluminium, lightly struck and there not much but the generic reverse design, and a tree on the obverse.

    1977 2 forint, Hungary

     

    not a bad design, but the Obverse design in its position just looks odd, would look better more central instead of pushed down.

    1985 25 pesetas, Spain

     

    Reverse is just boring, a crown the demonination and the date in a star, and that is it, no coat of arms, or extra details, just a bit bland.

    C.1272 Edward I Bristol penny.

    1690 tin farthing.

    A rare coin, made out of a materal that does not survive the tests of time very well, huge chunks missing, and very few details remain
