A pivotal year in History, here are all the coins minted (all denominations, but not all mints) by the newly formed 2nd French Republic that year.

Good coins

One of the very few 19th century years I don't have anything from.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

Obtained this coin this week.



GB 4d 1848 KM#731 (minted 1837-1862)

A bit worn, but fills a hole in my collection
I'm just a collector of coins, not a slave to it, unless I am in a coin shop.

I knew 1848 rang a bell in terms of important historical world events (Napoleon Bonaparte, etc). I then remembered it was also the year that Robert Baldwin & LaFonaine formed one of the first democratically elected (Responsible) governments here in Canada (with support from Lord Elgin). In all my research re: this movement & era, I've read how money (specie) was tight & scarce: the common practice was to use tokens, Spanish, British & US coins (& lots of local scrip or banknotes by dodgy banks).

I don't have many coins from 1848, but I do have a reasonably nice farthing.

Although this is not a coin but a banknote. It is a 10 Forint note dated 1848 from Hungary. Of importance, is the signature of Lajos Kossuth who was one of Hungary's premier revolutionary leaders in a year of revolutions across Europe. I have just made the purchase of this note. Given that it is a very old banknote--in paper money terms--and it is graded as AU, I think a purchase price of CD$68.00 (approximately US$54.20) was reasonable. As a bonus, shipping costs were thrown in at no extra cost. Pick #: S117

I added a copper from Greece, posed next to my 1846, km#25 and km#29
no historical remarks really from greece that year, to my knowledge, but pretty coin.

​1848 was a significant year in the States, the end of the Mexican war added the giant territory of Texas to the Union.

Among other significant events that year was ​the California gold rush. Still looking for a gold coin of that year. This would be perfect :

Excellent example, thanks for that. 

The provisional government of Venice also produced a 5 Lira coin on the same design, which I am now on the lookout for.🤓
