Bought from @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer which had a Star Trek exhibition on from the 30th June - 6th November 2016. The Perth Mint - on behalf of Tuvalu - issued a silver bullion coin with a limited mintage of 50,000 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series. The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley bust of Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination. Jennifer McKenna designed the reverse which depicts the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 as it appeared in Star Trek. The design includes the inscription "STAR TREK" and The Perth Mint’s traditional "P" mint mark.

Not my first silver, but my first coin: Pandora's Box from Powercoin.it

Wasn’t sure where to put this. 1862 1.5 pence .925 silver coin, mintage for that year was 260,000. Originally weighed 0.71g, now weighs 0.65g. So small it’s hard to get a clear photo on my phone.

1923 Germany Notgeld Rhine-Ruhr 50, 100, and 500 Million Mark

Things were very grim in Germany. War, human atrocities, ruthless dictators, crushing defeats, and financial collapse plagued the nation. German cities issued their own coinage since the imperial coins were completely worthless. It was an emergency and replacement money was needed. That's what notgeld means: emergency money.

This piece of notgeld from the Rhine-Ruhr region is particularly gruesome. The coin was struck at 33 mm in diameter, designed by the famous German medalist Karl Goetz. Greek god Prometheus appears on the obverse, chained to a rock with an eagle eating his liver as part of his eternal punishment by Zeus. On the reverse a child appears in an eternal flame. There are incused letter on edge: NOTGELD.

There are three denominations of the Rhine-Ruhr notgeld:

50 million mark -- brass

100 million mark -- white metal or silvered bronze

500 million mark -- gilded metal

I own a full set of 3, plus an additional 2 - 500 million mark coins for a whopping 1.65 billion marks. To put it in relatable context: by late November 1923, one US Dollar was equal to 4.21 trillion marks.
