Additions to your Exonumia collection - November 2024

Looking forward to seeing all the new purchases this November, as well as some new pages too perhaps.  😃

LDC

 A new edition for November 

‘Spanish Niderlands (County of Flanders, Belgian States) Counter Token’ 

[PAX AVT VICTORIA CRESCAT / 1605] 

Similar: N#372123 

 Though mine has same both sides so may be a 'mule'. 

As it is rather worn I looked for a picture in better condition to work out the lettering > 

 Two additions from the same seller so saving postage 

‘Great Britain Medal 1820 - Zinc - Death of King George III - VF’ 

[ENTER THOU UNTO THE JOY OF THY LORD / DIED JAN 29 1820 AGED 81 YEARS] 
N#408050 

‘Brunswick Calenberg Hannover Medal ND (1713) - Bronze - Wilhelmine Amalie’ 

[AMALIA WILHELMINA D G R IMP H & B REG NATA DUX BRUNS & LUN IOS I VID / DE GENNARO F 

// RECTE ET CONSTANTER] 
 Could not see missing lettering at top of obverse, and found this gold version >

Blimey loving those too I need to up my game plan 🤪

 Thanks. 

Add 4 newbies to my collection they arrived in the post yesterday but haven't found them on this site yet so could be new for here as well

Number one is George V and Mary silver Jubilee from the borough of Stafford

Number two is George VI and Elizabeth coronation souvenir from Aldridge UDC

Number three is one from Leeds for Queen Victoria coronation.

Last is a Victoria National Armada Commemoration Plymouth 

here is an interesting item

It is this commemorative medal,  a Charles Barber design.

It seems to have been a pocket piece for a long time.

Just got this yesterday…

Going to be a poor month for additions to my Exonumia collection. My library however gets 1 book larger.

Last month I obtained the second book in a series by The American Numismatic Society. It is mainly about Medals issued by The American Numismatic Society.

This month I have the first book in the series. It covers the Circle of Friends of the Medallion (1909-1915) and Society of Medalists (1930-1995)

There are a few of the second series on Numista, none of the first series have been added to Numista yet.

Got a rather random one …. not the best condition but its different not even entirely sure what shape I would call it …. wavy edged square?

Ahoj.

  The post office just delivered what my wife ordered for me as a Veteran's Day gift.

They are certainly genuine imitations of medieval coins which, given the price, are completely unattainable for most collectors, I have no doubt about that.

It is:

Tolar Rudolph II

twelfth tailor Czech nobility

Imperial ducat Charles IV

Parvus Wenceslas II

Here is an example of the size on a Canadian cent:

The price at auctions for originals is unattainable:

All coins in the original are on our website.  I just have to find out if we have a copy of this in the exonumia.

And to add a little touch of collecting romance - it was possible to order copies of coins only in ten pieces, that is, piles of the same coins.   Oh well, if I ever send a SWAP I'll include it as a treat.  Well no?

Some new arrivals of this week

November seems to have turned up some stunning items 🥰 

Just one little thing this month, from Germany. The first medal in my collection. Quite old. It's surprisingly tiny, I would expect for a war medal to be larger.

N#59012

3 new books for me today.

the lower three are Auction catalogues.

I think I have about filled my boots this month. I acquired a whole heap load but just going to show you two of them that rather took my fancy to share

Marine Corps - Japan

Canadian Auxiliary Ship HMCS Preserver

My son just brought this back from Dubai last week…
