Some stunning old coins here in the last couple of posts, thanks so much for sharing them,  having been saving for a monster bar for the last couple of years I decided to fill the gap in the time waiting by collecting silver coins in as close to UNC condition as I can from the period 1930 -  1945 ,  the standard catalogue of world coins 1901 - 2000 book/bible has been a godsend in helping with this especially in seeing how huge some coins are like the 2.5 Guldens are, I hope they make capsules big enough for them lol

Absolutely stunning collection of world silver there!
I received my very first 2.5 gulden yesterday as part of a job lot and I was blown away at how nice they are! Great size and design- I think it might be my favourite coin in my world silver collection!

I got these 3 coins today. It took almost two weeks to get here from France.
 
 

It is commonly believed that most Tola bars get smuggled in various body cavities, but I have no easy way of verifying this.
It is noticeable that they are almost always compact cast bars, with rounded corners.

This arrived in the post today, a British Malaya 20 Cents coin, dated 1943, the coin was only minted in three years, 1939, 1943 and 1945.
This design of coin was first minted in 1939 in .750 silver, 8 million were produced, 
in 1943 the silver content was reduced to .500 and only 5 million were minted,
the last year for the silver coins was 1945 with 8 million minted,  what gets me is that the 20 Cents was the highest denomination that country had, was it a poor country back then ?  postwar there was a 50 Cents coin and after the country became part of Malaysia dollars appeared.
Thats all the silver Malaya coins I wanted now, got a few more coins I am waiting for and bidding on, will have to see how they do.

My favourite is the Quintuple sovereign 💕💕

A 1925 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle bought as bullion at spot from @ST1986 . This stunning coin had been on my wishlist since I bought the 10oz gilded silver replica 1933 coaster pictured beneath the real thing.
