Didn't know there were coins with chess motif?
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

Looking for pre 1783 coins

I'm not an expert in any kind of coins, but I reckon I'm good at research and will do my best to help. Feel free to tell me my identifications/valuations/gradings are wrong. It's the only way I'll learn.

​That's the problem, they're tend to be outrageously expensive and hard to find.

I haven't seen any coins with chess pieces on etc, but did come across this lovely biscuit today:



This forum also reminded me that I used to collect Chess Sets. Will have to dig them out, as I think I had around 20 different one's from all over. Everytime I went abroad (or a relative did) I would get a chess set. Will put pics up when I find them.
