Since we've had a successful run with the same thread with banknotes, see here, here, and here. And we also have a similar threads, like this one.

Post your coins of the country/territory. We'll do them alphabetically, and one country/territory per day.
  • Abkhazia
  • Afghanistan
  • Ajman
  • Aksum
  • Albania
  • Alderney
  • Algeria
  • American Samoa
  • Andorra
  • Angola
  • Anguilla
  • Antigua and Barbuda
  • Argentina
  • Armenia
  • Aruba
  • Ascension Island
  • Australia
  • Australia - Colonial
  • Austria
  • Austria – Habsburg
  • Austrian Netherlands
  • Azerbaijan
  • Azores

All XXX States and XXX Provinces will be handled separately.

Please let me know if I've missed a country/territory, and I will add it to the list.
Great to see you've started the list! Nothing for me on the first country though...
15th May: Abkhazia
Can we assume that each day starts at midnight GMT?
Quote: "phfoticus"​Can we assume that each day starts at midnight GMT?
​Absolutely, but since Abkhazia is one of those harder to get countries I thought I could just start it now. Afghanistan will be starting at 00:00 GMT the 16 May 2018..
Quote: "ngdawa"​All XXX States and XXX Provinces will be handled separately.
I'm not sure I understood this part.

What about the followings ?

Achaea, Principality of
Antioch, Principality of
Abbasid Caliphate
Aghlabid dynasty
Almohad Caliphate
Almoravid dynasty
Aq Qoyunlu, Tribal federation of
Artuqid dynasty
Ayyubid Sultanate
Athens, Duchy of

I guess we are not going to take the followings because they are in a subsection ?

Auersperg, Counts of
Austria, Duchy of
Aachen, Free imperial city of (1)
Ahlen, City of
Altenburg, Royal mint of
Andernach, Royal mint of
Anhalt, Earldom of
Anhalt, Principality of

A possible solution I worked out would be to handle the sub-issuers when we get to them, e.g. all the Swiss Cantons for example, would be the day right before Switzerland, when you can post all the coins from Geneva, Vaud, Solothurn, etc. you want to.

For those sections with sub-issuers that have tons of third-level divisions (e.g. the German States), we might have all the A-E states on day 150, F-H states on day 151, and so on.

That means ngdawa should add Argentine provinces and Austrian states in the "A" list, and we'll have one day each for them.
I can post an Abkhazia later when I get home from work, iffy if I’ll make it by midnight GMT or not though.

​if you want to i'll add them to the list, but i thought you wanted all the states and provinces separated..

EDIT: Always curious why on the reverse there was just BANCO then half a wreath,
and now looking at this page ...
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces26204.html
that has similar, with the wreath being partially overstamped with lettering.
Then if my second image is rotated then 5/10 can be partially seen, so is a 5/10 Real coin.

​Yes Zak, that is a 5/10 Real coin from Buenos Ayres, province of Argentina. In your picture reverse is shown rotated 180º, and the full lettering should be "BANCO NACIONAL".

I don't remember exact details, but the wreath was not part of the design of this side of coin, is a remain of the design of the planchet used, from an older coin. At that time was usual to re-use coins, due to lack of material. On Numista pictures, you can see both sides have remains of the previous coin, that seems to have been a 1 Decimo from 1822 or 1823, KM# 1
Just 10 options: you understand binary, or you don't.
