All of the coins posted here are very nice.  I sure do like that 1767 jeton.  Wow.

I suppose I'm partial to mermaids... LOL

I stopped by our weekend show and pick this one up, just because.

Interesting error coin Stefanie. Here is a specimen that I picked up in the last couple of weeks. This a 3 Tenge coin from the EMIRATE OF BUKHARA dated 1336 AH/1917 AD. This is an exceptional specimen for a coin that usually found with weak and off-centered striking.

I have never really studied or collected ancients but I must say that every time I see these particular ones, the ones with a great strong strike and high grade of preservation it amazes me!!!
Nice one Zantetsuken

You'd think this would be an ancient coin, wouldn't you? But actually, it was only minted within the last century. The crude minting methods do have a tendency to deceive people as to the actual age of certain coins such as this one. I'm glad you like it.

I recognize the 'Christ seated' reverse from earlier similar Byzantine pieces, but I wonder what the lettering says on the obverse?
