What face values are out there?

I've been following these fun numerical games and have another suggestion.

Some time ago I got my first coin with a value "4" (Portugal). Of course there are many coins with a face value of 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100 ... for a 6 we have to go to the time of LSD-countries (or countries that were a bit stuck in time ;-)), 3 and 15 were common in the USSR, also 1,5 and 2,5 are not uncommon in some countries and so on. Let's try to get as many different face values from your collections ... in consecutive order.
I also noticed the "face value" in advanced search doesn't give up all results due to being in reference to the currency and not necessarily what is written on the coin, so you'll have to dig through your collection in search of the "special" values.

Rules:
- we start at 1 and first go up, trying to go step by step, once we get to the highest face value on a coin (I already saw coins with a million ... how much higher do we get?) we return to 1 and try going down ... and try to get as close as possible to 0
- the value has to be written on the coin in some form (number or in words, whatever language or script), please point it out if it is not obvious
- decimal values are for sure allowed (e.g. 2,5 or 0,5=1/2 or ...)
- coins with 2 currencies can be used twice (e.g. Belgium: 20 frank = 4 Belga)
- I'd like to stick to coins for the game, but if you have some fun value on a token/banknote ... feel free to share in between
- coins have to be posted in consecutive order, so if anybody still finds a lower value (or higher, once we go from 1 to almost 0) that was missing ... you can all start posting again as from that new value (unless that sets us back more than 10 coins, otherwise we could start all over if someone finds a coin with value "9 3/4" when we are already posting in the millions ...)
- if you have some background information why certain uncommon values were used in a specific period or country, you are obliged to share it !

Prizes:
The numista member who gets most different values in the final list gets awarded the "most values member", an award with no value at all.

Who is in? I wonder how many different values we'll be getting! (And I hope I'm not repeating a post that has been done before ... at least I didn't find any listing of values searching the forum)

I want to post the (probably) easiest value : 1

Not even a coin from my collection (I stick to the European continent), but some beautiful kangaroos I got today and that will end up in my swap-list:

Australian 1 dollar


How close do we go now? Anything out there between 1 and 2? 1,5 I guess ... but anything smaller still ?

An apparently one-year issue, the 1940 1¼ (1.25) Centésimos from Panama.

Value 1.05 (21/20)

A Guinea was 1 Pound 1 Shilling (whereas a Sovereign was 1 Pound).
To do with sales commission - if a horse was sold for 20 Guineas, the seller
got 20 Sovereigns and the auctioneer got 20 Shillings, for example.

Are we just going to be doing whole numbers, or fractions as well? Because I have a ¼ farthing, and a farthing is a ¼ of a penny, which makes the ¼ farthing 1/16th of a penny

Or the other one I have is the 1/10th penny from british west africa

Fractions are very welcome ... but should be visible on the coin, so 1/4 Farting is just "1/4" (unless 1/16 penny is also mentioned on the coin). I was just interested in all the combinations that are on the coins. So keep that 1/4 farthing for later, when we go from 1 to 0.

SO I had a look at the Guineas in Numista, but didn't find any with the 21/20 ratio mentioned on the coin. So because of article 2 in the official rulebook, the Guinea suggested by ZacUK cannot be accepted as yet, though I love the story behind it. Was the Guinea in England different, because there it is rated at 20shilling/1 Pound?

thanks for participating!

OK, so going from 1¼ cent up, I have a UK maundy 1½ penny

​Fraction values of "1" will be posted at the end of the game

Now I bet we can reach 1,5 :

France 1 ½ €

We're now at 1.5 with two simultaneous entries (considering the distance between New Zealand and France at least). Who can still find a 1 1/3 (4/3 wouldn't look too bad on a coin) to squeeze in between? Or can we move on to 1,75?

​​LOL

​I'm guessing there are places where they pronounce it like that ... but since decimalization, payments in "fartings" are no longer allowed

I have a coin with a 1 1/4 face value in my collection, but nothing else between 1 and 2 other than maybe 1 1/2 (and I'm not very sure of that one).

I do know of some other coins between 1 and 2, however (but I don't actually have any of those - and most of them are extremely rare).
