I'm going to guess it's by Britannia's feet.
Math that's a double whammy, what is it ?




Here's a couple of nice ones.
Numista referee for Canada and Estonia.
The Canadian ones are always top notch for their ships ! I will upload a pic of my £2 coin I recently got of the Mary Rose later too. :)


50% silver and I got it for face value.
Canoe is not a ship!  (;0

This is my latest coin added to my collection with a ship and definitely one of my favorites.

If it floats it's a boat lol ! That looks like the thing from the Fijian coins !
Thor Heyerdahl (1914-2002) gained worldwide fame when he crossed the Pacific Ocean on Kon-Tiki in 1947. He followed this up with spectacular expeditions on the reed boats Ra and Tigris.
The most famous ship?  0:)

For fans of ships and the Polish 2 zł commemorative coins, this is one of the more interesting series, currently being issued...


Swap me that 1 penny1 !!!
Nice thread

coins with Ships (pre-20th Century) is my ultimate weakness, I currently have over 150 and am looking to add some if any wants swaps!

Here are a couple of my favourites....(my ship coins are all my favourites)















this is just a taste
another lot of favourites are the Tuvalu 'ships that changed the world' series

I really want all ship coins...but I really really really want that Bahamas, Expulsion of the Pirates, Penny!!!

but seriously.....keen to swap for ship coins (in good grades)... (;0
Here's one I like

 This one is going to tony - my coin is at the bank.
yours daryl
It is, what it is, or is it.
  This ship coin is a U.K. £2 and is Royal Mint Trial 1994 and I guess does not have a KM number ...

                     

 Not an official coin as such - from a 'set' showing in stages how a bimetal coin is made, so the set is the different parts. On the first image below, the lower right is see-through as it only has the outer ring.



 Made in the U.K. by the Royal Mint in 1994 as a trial piece, and features a never-used ship design on the reverse. Also does not say £2 on it. Here are closer images of reverse and obverse from the package ...



 I got the set years ago - as I wanted to have a complete set of all U.K. £2 coins, and I thought it looked nice. I guess others have since caught on to these as they are well expensive nowadays.  :)

-DMK-  Just a collector with hoarding tendencies.
It is, what it is, or is it.
The French mint did a series about famous French ship.

As my father served for a year on the ship I decided to get this coin:


They are quite expensive though.
I hope these tokens qualify.


I will post a couple more another time.

​Here's a couple of nice ones.
You beat me to the Italian silver 500 lire! One of my favourite coins from the Italian Republic (they were a lot more beautiful under the Kingdom of Italy in my opinion). I guess I’ll go with the commemorative 1989 200 lire for the centenary of the Taranto naval yards.

(not my picture by the way, straight from the entry on this site.)

In a very interesting online documentary on excavations in the previously lost harbour of Constantinopel a beautiful coin, found in one of 37 very well conserved sunken ships found there,  from as estimated the 6th century is shown at about 23:00:

Using the ‘prt sc’-key twice I created the image below. It would be nice to know wether this coin is listed on Numista already.

 

My Bermuda reuleaux triangle 1998 dollar:

Besides coins I love geometry. The avatar consists of each of the 35 hexominoes used precisely once. With the 5 large yellow shapes placed like this, the solution for tiling the remaining 30 hexominoes is unique.

An arbitrary ship coin box I got a few years back:

 

 

I like the Alderney Titanic:

 

 

I'm not a coin collector, but I picked those up a few years back, before I got bitten by the banknote addiction :)

The first ship in my collection;

That is a beautiful coin!

1 ounce, not too shabby at all. That would have cost a bit more than a Tesco meal deal I am sure!

It's only silver unfortunely, it just looks a bit gold because of it being a proof and how the artificial light catches it. It wasn't that much more expensive than the bullion value, which is a lot lately...

I think of all my coins I sold. The one I prehaps miss most oddly.. is the bahamas halfpenny. possibly Bermuda too.  missed more than my Gold Coast Ackey, Ceylon Rixdollar & British Trade dollars ! 

Former British colonial maestro collector. Also former ref of Gibraltar & many other former colonies.

Maybe not quite a ship, but maybe if you add two boats together?
