Israel 5 Pruta

Wow, nice toning!  I like that Indian coin, too.... and that one is aluminum?  Wonder if it's a mix of metals, it looks like has some toning to it.  I didn't know aluminum toned.

Stefanie,
  That is a very nice 10 Naye Paise that you have got there.

Between 1957 & 1963,the Indian Rupee was divided into 100 Naye Paise.Since 1964,it has been divided into 100 Paise.

This is actually a cupro-nickel coin.

Errors are very common in the Indian decimal coin series.

Your Israeli coin looks like a 5 Lirot.

Here's one that arrived today. This is 10 Koruna from CZECHOSLOVAKIA dated 1993. The coin shows a profile of M.R. (Milan Rastislav) Stefanik who was the First Minister of War during the old republic from 1918-1919. This coin  has historic interest for two reasons. One, it was the last issue date for Czechoslovakia. Two, it was issued for a country that had already ceased to exist. Czechoslovakia peacefully spit in two on New Years day 1993 in what some called the 'Velvet Divorce', because the breakup occured without bloodshed.

Thanks 'regandon', I'm glad you like it. It's klnd of curious that they issued a coin for a defunct country. That was one of the things that piqued my interest for this. Later in 1993 both the Czech and Slovak republics issued seperate coins and notes.

Daniel,
  That's a very nice 10 Korun that you have got there.The mintmark looks like it was struck at the Kremnica Mint,which is now the official mint for Slovakia.

Since 2009,the Slovakian Koruna has been replaced by the Euro,but the Czech Republic's Koruna could be replaced by the Euro at some point in the next few years,provided that the Eurozone doesn't become toast.

Thanks Aidan, I'm glad you like it. I didn't know Slovakia had converted to the Euro already. That being said, it's strange the Czechs haven't done the same. I have a couple more items due soon. A silver dinar from medieval Serbia, and a silver Ruble from the Russian Empire. I'll post them as soon as they arrive.
