Johnny 1989 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 ... Queen Elizabeth II. Seeing as Lizzie is now our oldest serving monarch I though what better way to celebrate this occasion that to show at least one example from each countries currencey that have/had her portrait on. Please note I realise the Sandwich Islands are missing but I don't currently have a coin from there at present. If there are any other countries that I have missed, past or present please feel free to let me know If any of this information is incorrect (see key below) please let me know Key to symbols: * Coins with the Queen's portrait that no longer circulate here ^ Earliest circulating portrait # Most unique portrait + Special issues only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banivechi Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Papua - New Guinea? And As I know exist one nice Queen's silver jubilee 1 Tala coin from Western Samoa with a small portrait. Btw, you choose a very interesting theme for collecting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny 1989 Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I can't... seee... the nudity... You seem somewhat dissapointed Is thedeadpoint feeling ok? A great collection Johnny! Thanks very much, I'm hoping to do a similar "checklist" for George VI soon Papua - New Guinea?And As I know exist one nice Queen's silver jubilee 1 Tala coin from Western Samoa with a small portrait. Btw, you choose a very interesting theme for collecting! Thanks for the comment, I'll have to keep an eye out for both Papua New Guinea & Western Samoa The Island God that is hung. Well size isn't everything.... apparently I think you missed the Straits Settlements, currently known as Malaysia and Singapore. There is one up there for Malaya & British Borneo, betweeen Jersey & Mauritius, I wasn't aware of one with The Straits Settlements on it for QEII, will have to look out for that one Oh, that one ... http://www.worldcoincatalog.com/C1/CookIslands/k7r.jpg Christian Thanks for the comments, Jamaica, Bahama Islands, Rhodesia & Nyasaland, Alderney, Fiji and St Helena & Ascension have been the hardest to get hold off, especially the first four on the list I'm hoping to scan ALL my coins in the near future but I am looking for somewhere to host the pictures. I know there's Omnicoin but I was wondering if people can recommend another site similar to Omnicoin where I could host my pictures. I don't have a problem with Omnicoin but I'd like to put them somewhere where they can be presented a bit better. Also the other variation that I have missing is the "Commonwealth of the Bahamas" where the Queen's portrait was in place for a very brief time.

ElleKitty Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 That is extremely impressive, and a wonderful picture! I wouldn't mind a larger copy of it at all. Would it be possible to download it? Maybe make a wall poster out of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Oh, that one ... http://www.worldcoincatalog.com/C1/CookIslands/k7r.jpg Christian Well, I'm embarrassed now. At least I professed my appreciation for female nudity in a PCI thread. Great idea for a collection though. I do too hope you'll post a larger version of (most) of the coins.

Paris is my personal meccah for art, Amsterdam and Utrecht coming close. I am an engineer so I went several dozens of times to France and looked at churches and castles and of course the Mona Lisa also done in gold by Monnaie de Paris I liked Reims Cathedral and the Normandy Castles Versailles and Fontainebleau are too overwhelming My favourite painter is Hieronymus Bosch though I am not too sure of his latanised name spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
see323 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I think you missed the Straits Settlements, currently known as Malaysia and Singapore. ...And you forget to include Brunei since it was also part of the Straits Settlements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
