WWII SILVER FLORIN
FROM AUSTRALIA

Australia
entered World War II with an ill-prepared, understaffed military with
aging equipment. After Britain’s declaration of war on
Germany in 1939 Australia sent much of its military to Europe and North
Africa. In 1941 and 1942 Australia suffered major losses in
the Japanese invasion of Malaya and Singapore, where it had much of its
remaining forces stationed, leaving it vunerable to a Japanese
invasion. It brought home much of its European forces for to
fight the War in the Pacific. From 1942 until early 1944,
Australia made up a majority of Allied strength in much of the fighting
in the South West Pacific theatre. Towards the end of the war
the size of the Australian military was reduced in order to release
manpower for war-related industries which were important to supplying
Britain and the US forces in the Pacific. During the war
almost a million U.S. personnel passed through Australia. The
war contributed to major changes in the Australia’s economy, military
and foreign policy and accelerated the process of
industrialization. This Australian 1944 sterling silver
Florin (2 Shillings) depicts King George VI on the obverse and the arms
of Australia on the reverse. The 28.5mm coin was struck at
the Melbourne mint and contains .3364 troy ounces of silver.

Bermuda struck this silver 1 crown in 1964. It was the last coin they

Because Bermuda is a British colony, Queen Elizabeth is on the

ship in a storm. The islands were discovered in 1503 by
Spanish explorer Juan de Bermúdez. Bermuda was not settled until 1609
when British ship Sea Venture, bound for Jamestown, Virginia was
wrecked on a reef. Though all survived the shipwreck, some decided to
stay in Bermuda rather than continuing to Virginia in two makeshift
boats that were built by the survivors. Shakespeare's The
Tempest may have been based upon this incident. The 36mm
silver crown contains .3636 troy ounces of silver.

CHARLOTTETOWN
SILVER DOLLAR


Canada
issued a circulating commemorative silver dollar in 1964 to commemorate
the 100th anniversary of the Charlottetown and Quebec
Conferences. The conferences laid the groundwork for the
establishment of the Dominion of Canada in 1867. The Charlottetown
Conference was held in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island in September
1864. Initially the conference was to discuss a union of the Maritime
colonies, but was expanded to include the Province of Canada as
well. Britain encouraged the union, hoping the colonies would
become less dependent on the Crown and provide for greater economic and
military power for the region in light of the American Civil
War. A circus came to Charlottetown the same week,
the first one to visit in over 20 years. Folks were much more
interested in the circus than politics. Workers left their
jobs and folks from all over the island came into town which made
accommodations difficult for the delegates. A second
conference was held in Quebec the following month. The Quebec
Conference created 72 Resolutions which laid the foundation for
unifying the colonies. The resolutions covered a wide range
of issues, from governmental powers to building
railroads. The coin depicts young Queen Elizabeth
on the obverse. The reverse features an emblem incorporating
the French fleur-de-lis, the Irish shamrock, the Scottish thistle, and
the English rose representing the main nationalities that settled
Canada. Around it is the legend "
CHARLOTTETOWN • QUEBEC",
the dates
"1864"
and
"1964".
The 36mm coin is struck in .800 fine silver and contains .6

their reservation in Poarch, Alabama. In 1984 the United States
government officially recognized the tribe. They are the only federally
recognized tribe in Alabama. In 2004 the tribe authorized its
first coins to commemorate the 20th anniversary of their recognition as
a tribe by the United States government. Two different 1 troy

RARE KINGDOM OF HAWAII SURFING
COMPETITION COIN

The
Kingdom of Hawaii, a modern Hawaiian sovereignty movement, commemorated
the 2023 Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational Surfing competition on this
ultra-low mintage sterling silver 25 Dala coin. It has a
mintage of only 46 pieces! As a lifeguard Eddie Aikau saved
over 500 lives, sometimes braving 30-foot waves. He died
trying to rescue his crewmates in an attempt to reenact a canoe voyage
from Hawaii to Polynesia. The surfing competition was started
in 1984 in his honor. It is held at Waimea Bay on the north
shore of Oahu, Hawaii, where Eddie was a lifeguard. Because
the competition is held only when ocean swells reach a minimum of 20
feet, (6.1m) it has been held just 10 times since its
inception. During the 2023 competition surfers
braved waves 30 to 50 feet (9.1 to 15.2m) in height. The coin
depicts an incused image of a Hawaiian Koa warrior on the obverse and a
surfer on the reverse. .

This
amazing Uncirculated silver rupee was one of the last hammer struck

1819, always bearing
the same dates. The British East India Company continued to
strike coins in his name as he was well respected and coins in his name
were widely accepted and trusted. By the time the coin was
struck the British East India Company's Bengal Presidency controlled
most of north-east India and the Mughal Emperor was little more than a
figurehead. The coin was struck at the Banaras (now called
Varanasi) Mint.

COINS OF THE KINGDOM OF ITALY
Italy was formally declared a Kingdom under King Victor Emmanuel II
(Vittorio Emanuele II) of Sardinia in 1861. He decided to continue his
title as Victor Emmanuel II instead of Victor Emmanuel I of Italy, thus
Italy's first king is titled The Second. His son, Umberto I,
became king upon Victor Emmanuel's death in 1878. Umberto
added
Italy's African colonies of Somalia and Eritrea, however, his forces
were defeated in Ethiopia. He was assassinated by an
anarchist in 1900. These silver coins of the first
two kings of Italy have similar designs. The obverse features
the head of the king. The reverse of the 1 Lire coins have
the
crowned Arms of Savoy within a wreath. Two
types of 2 Lire were struck for Victor Emmanuel II with the same
obverse but different reverses. One type has the Arms of
Savoy on the reverse, the other has the denomination and a wreath. Both
are dated 1863. The coins of his son, Umberto I, has the star of Italy
atop the arms of Savoy on the reverse. These coins were all
struck to the
standards of the Latin Monetary Union, The Latin Monetary
Union
attempted to unify the
currencies of Europe more than a century before the Euro was
established. The 1 Lire is 23mm, weighs 5 grams, is struck in
.835 fine silver and contains .1342 troy ounces of silver. The 2 Lire
is 27mm, weighs 10 Grams, is struck in .835 fine silver and

Japan issued these two multi-colored silver 1000 Yen coins in 2015 to
help raise funds for the rebuilding effort after the Great East Japan
Earthquake, also called the Tohoku Earthquake which occurred March 3,
2011. The magnitude 9.1 earthquake was the largest ever
recorded in Japan. The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami
waves that may have reached heights over 130 feet (40.5m), traveled up
to 6 miles (10km.) inland and led to the meltdown of the Fukushima
Nuclear Power Plant. As of 2015, when the coins
were issued, almost a quarter of a million people were still displaced
from their homes. The first coin depicts a fishing boat with
numerous flags and banners coming to the rescue. Ears of rice
are to the left It has a mintage of 60,000. The
second coin features an origami paper crane flying over the
reconstruction zone. It has a mintage of only
40,000. Both coins have the same reverse depicting a tree and
birds in flight. The legend translates as "Let's do our best
Japan". The coins are dated Heisei ear year 27, which
corresponds to 2015AD. They are 40mm and contain 1 troy ounce
of .999 silver and come in their original boxes with Certificates of

COIN OF THE KATHIRI STATE OF SEIYUN AND TARIM

The
Kathiri Sultans controlled the towns of Seiyun and Tarim in what is
now Yemen. After losing much of their territory to rival tribes they
agreed to become a British Protectorate. Seiyun was the capital, and
Tarim is a major center of Islamic learning. In 1897 they had
this silver 12 Khumsi coins struck at the Heaton Mint for their
territory. The coin is all in Arabic, except for the Heaton
mintmark and are dated AH1315. 12 Khumsi was
equivalent to
1/10 Riyal. The coin is 18mm in diameter. It is a rarely seen coin from
a now forgotten nation.

SEATED
LIBERTY SILVER
COINS FROM PERU


Peru
introduced the seated liberty design on their coinage when they
switched from the Spanish Real monetary system to the decimal system in
the mid 1800's. The design for their new coins were based on the seated
liberty coins that the United States used at the time. Both
feature liberty seated with a shield in one hand and a liberty cap on a
pole in the other. The obverse features the Peruvian arms.
The silver 1/2 Dinero was equivalent to a United States silver half
dime and struck to almost the same standards as the half
dime. It is 15mm in diameter and contains 1.25 troy ounces of
.900 fine silver. Due to rising silver prices Peru stopped
minting the coin in 1917. The coins were often struck with overdates or
minor mint errors. The silver 1 Sol, which had been
equivalent to a silver Dollar was struck with its silver content
reduced from .900 fine to .500 fine after World War I. The
37mm coin contains .4019 troy ounces of silver. We have both
the silver 1/2 Dinero dating from 1900 to 1916 and the silver 1 Sol
dated 1934 in AU to Uncirculated condition.

EARLY DATED
SILVER COIN OF
POLAND-LITHUANIA

Until
the 1600's most nations did not put dates on coins. These silver
1/2 Grossus (Groschen) coins of Sigismund II Augustus from the 1500's
are some of the earliest affordable coins bearing an AD date.
Sigismund was both the King of Poland and Grand Duke of
Lithuania. In 1569 he formally united the two countries with
the Treaty of Lublin to form the Polish-Lithuanian
Commonwealth. His coins reflect this dual
nationality. One side features his titles as Grand Duke of
Lithuania, and Vytas, the White Knight, which is the national symbol of
Lithuania. Below Vytas is the date. The other side
features the Polish Eagle and his titles as King of Poland.
The 19mm silver coins date from 1547 to 1572. In 1572
Sigsmund died childless, despite having three wives (two of which were
first cousins) and carrying on affairs with "two of the most beautiful
of his countrywomen". He was the last of the powerful
Jagiellonian dynasty controlled much of central Europe for almost 200
years.

SERBIA
HONORS TESLA ON SILVER COINS
Nikola
Tesla was a Serbian American inventor, electrical engineer, physicist,
and futurist. He is said to have over 300 patents covering a
wide range of
technologies including alternating current, electric motors, remote
control, television, radio, x-rays, cell phones, robotics, lasers,
turbine engines, magnetic propulsion, drones, solar power, weather
manipulation, particle beams and electromagnetic energy (the Tesla
coil). He was a brilliant inventor, but a poor businessman.
Despite his many important and revolutionary inventions, he
died alone and penniless in New York in 1943.
Serbia instituted an annual series of silver 100
Dinara coins honoring Tesla and his many inventions. The
40.25mm
coins each contain 1 troy ounce of .999 silver and are
struck by the Serbian Mint. The Serbian arms,
weight, purity, silver
content, date, denomination and one or more of his inventions are on
the reverses.
The 2020 coin honored Tesla's early work with
X-rays.
Nikola Tesla was one of the early discoverers of
X-rays. His first X-ray images, which he called shadowgraphs,
were done in 1894, a year before Wilhelm Rontgen published his
discovery of X-rays in 1895. He was one of the first to recognize some
of the benefits of X-rays, such as the finding of foreign objects
within a body and the detection of lung diseases. He was also
one of the first to recognize the hazards of X-ray radiation.
Unfortunately, most of his work was lost when his laboratory burned
down in
1895. The coin has a mintage of 19,812 in BU.
The 2021 issue depicts his famed Wardenclyffe
Tower. The 187 foot (57m) tall tower on Long Island was
supposed be able to distribute free energy to all.
Foreshadowing the Internet, it would allow one to call any telephone in
the world and allow one to hear music or speeches delivered
anywhere. The ambitious project failed on two
counts: Tesla could not figure out how to recover the costs
of the project if everything was free, and the technology did not
work. The coin has a mintage of 9,340 in BU
The 2022 issue depicts his Ozone
Generator. Ozone is a reactive form of oxygen. It
differs from normal oxygen in that it has three oxygen in its molecule
rather than the normal two atoms. Because it is highly
reactive, Tesla and many others believed it has natural healing
benefits including anti-inflammatory, anti-pathogenic, cell
detoxification properties and the ability to enhance the immune
system. However, breathing ozone can cause lung irritation,
coughing, decrease lung function and aggravate asthma, so the
Environmental Protection Agency recommends to avoid breathing ozone.
The coin has a mintage of just 9008 pieces in BU.
The 2023 issue features what Tesla
considered "The Secret of the Universe". Tesla believed the
everything in the universe could be understood through the Energy,
Vibration and Frequency of waves. Understanding waves not
only explains natural phenomena, but also our interaction and
perception of the physical world and our well-being, harmony and life
as well. We interact with the reality through our eyes and
ears which convert electromagnetic (light) and mechanical (sound) waves
into electric neural signals; which are then interpreted by our brain
through the firing of neurons, which produce and respond to electrical
impulses. Tesla believed physics and dimension are best
understood by the mathematics of threes. One of his famous
quotes: "If you only know the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you
would have the key to the universe". He believed these
numbers held great significance in the universe, nature and
understanding humans.
