Extending my royal heritage

Well I just got a George II sixpence today. That means that I just need a coin from James II and I'll have a coin from every UK ruler from Charles II to George VI. Anyone have a picture of a James II coin or can go backwards from Charles II

Charles II fourpence 1683



William III sixpence 1697



Anne sixpence 1711



George I shilling 1723



My new George II sixpence 1757



George III shilling 1817



George IV shilling 1826



William IV shilling 1835



Victoria shilling 1872



Edward VII sixpence 1903



George V shilling 1911



I don't have any UK coins, but I do have some coins for Edward VIII

Edward VIII penny Fiji 1936



And finally George VI shilling 1944

I'm in a very similar situation. Just need Edward VIII and James II/VII and I'll have one coin from every British monarch from James I/VI to Elizabeth II. If you count pre union of the crowns monarchs I'd have an unbroken line going back to James V and Elizabeth I.

I used to have a James II gunmoney coin but it disappeared shortly after I bought it.

I am proud to say, that I, do have an unbroken line of monarchs from Charles II to Elizabeth II
Listing my favourite coin from each monarch:

-1673 Charles II Crown
-1687 James II Crown (rare piece I think)
-1693 William and Mary 1/2 pence Ireland
-1707 E Anne Crown
-1723 George I Shilling
-1758 George II Shilling
-1763 George III Maundy 3 Pence
-1825 George IV Half-Crown
-1836 William IV Half-Crown
-1866 Victoria Hongkong 1/2 Dollar
-1902 Edward VII Crown (Coronation)
-1913 George V 1/3 Farthing
-1936 British East Africa Edward VIII 5 cents
-1937 Australia George VI Crown (Coronation)
-1953 Elizabeth II Crown (Coronation)

I don't have a Charles II coin. Nor a James VII coin, obviously (and I think that's the correct number).
I also don't have any coins from Anne and George IV. Not sure about George I and II, I have two or three very worn (and/or damaged) British halfpennies/farthings of that period, and I can't recall the specific pictured ruler.
Oh, and Mary. Shouldn't forget Mary. (You know, the other half of William and Mary.)

I have coins from all the other British monarchs in that period (including William III, William IV and Edward VIII - one of the African coins for the latter).

Awesome.

You can probably tell that I'll be looking to upgrade the early coins when I get rich. Some of the early ones have buckles and bows.

Awesome thread. I don't have an 'unbroken line' but I have the following.

Cnut
Edward III
Henry VIII
William & Mary
George I
George III
George IV
Vicky
Ed VII
George V
George VI
Lizzy II

I'd love to get some of the early ones sometime, but I'm concentrating on other things at the moment. Eventually I'd like to have a royal line all in one coin. Like the shilling or a penny or something from each ruler, and just go back as far as I can.

I stopped at Charles II milled issues. If I had the money I would head back to the commonwealth.

my favourite James II is a gun money half crown. May 1690 which is a nice grade but also I'm intrigued at my catholic roots 300 years to the month of my birth.





i also have a shilling. Struck at the other mint (I forgot the name) portrait is a little more crude looking.

Those are some beautiful coins, you guys. My collection is mainly modern UK from Victoria onwards but I do have one hammered coin, a Charles I Rose Farthing, here's the Numista page: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces42092.html and here's my coin:

It's obviously seen better days and I can't be sure of the exact type but I got it in a swap from another Brit and I thought it was quite neat considering the turbulent time in our history from which it came.

I just got a George I farthing (1717, the small sized "dump" issue, Numista rarity 93, somehow) from a 50 ruble (~80 cents) bargain bin (that was a really lucky find, apparently).
Crap grade, mind you; just barely enough to identify (the date is mostly there, and between that, size, the Britannia, and profile direction I've fortunately figured it out).

In any case, that means I have a George I coin, so I only need Anne, George II and George IV for a full line from William III (and I probably already have a George II coin somewhere, so it's only Anne and George IV that would be tricky to find).

If only I had a spare $500

Elizabeth II - well, she's EVERYWHERE!

Edward VII was king for only 10 months in 1936 (before he abdicated and married a divorced American woman), so there aren't a lot of coins with him on them, and then it's just a name, w/o a portrait:

• British West Africa - 1/10d, 1/2d, 1d, and 10d (mule)
  
• British East Africa - 5c and 10c
  
• British New Guinea - 1d (km6) - stylized royal monogram
