Beautiful old coin Tane. Thanks for sharing.

Lego has come a long way since I was kid. I actually preferred Meccano.
Off course, the one thing everyone hates is stepping on a Lego block with bare feet, LOL

My only other collection is stamps. I did have some bank notes, but sold them off to buy more coins.

In my opinion, if you are a numismatist adding coins, banknotes and exonumia to their gallery and then the dungeon of their castles, is likely to collect other things.

Here's what I collect as well.

1. Stamps - that was my thing before coins took over again (2018 - 2019), I have big collections of NZ and Australia, UK and most Commonwealth and Pacific countries. I still have them as I sunk mega money into this stuff between 2005 and 2021. Covid killed off my enthusiasm a bit.

2. Lego - Only the adult stuff like Creator modular buildings and architectural models like Neuschwanstein castle, Trevi Fountain, Museum etc and I even owned a Lego Titanic at one stage (I had a deprived child hood and try to compensate for it).

The lego looks like toys, but they are very hard to build (Taking a few days) and are not cheap (Figure $300 + per set). Its all R18 or more.

I only have one really nice one and its pretty old. From the time of King Jose 1 (1707 - 1750)

Heavily darkened and some corrosion, this coin is almost 300 years old and is a big one, in 1743 10 Reis was about a penny in value. I am not sure if this was Portugal proper or a colony like Brasil or Angola/Mocambique - but the lack of symbols or the word Ultramarino or Macuta, makes me think this is mainland Portugal.

I agree the 3 lions on  the Danish arms is similar to the English ones, those links back to King Canute (Cnut in Danish) I guess. But the Danish arms has hearts on it too, nothing with hearts appeared in the British Isles until Elizabeth I started wearing heart shaped ruffs and fasinators in the 1560s.

Here are some more Danish silver commems, all 15 grams and a fairly stingy 80% silver next to the 90% or more of most countries then.

Coin  1 from 1892 is a royal wedding anniversary which is the 50th wedding of Christian IX and his wife, they were in their 70s by this stage. The marriage produced a dynasty that married throughout Europe and our present king claims decent from.

The second coin from 1923 is his grandson Christian X who celebrated his 25th wedding annivesary then, being born in 1870 he married in 1898. This coin came out when much of Europe had changed to base silver or no silver coins, like Denmark, these commemorative 2 Kroners were the only silver by this stage as they moved to ultra budget aluminium brass for regular 2 kroner coins.

Even more medieval than the groat is this ancient Edward I penny. The way to tell Edward I and Edward II pennies apart is the former say EDWR and later say EDWA. These pennies started in 1279 and carrie on a basic type of facing king with flowing hippy locks that survived through to the early Tudor times (Around 1505). Edward I pennies are quite common and millions were minted, many survive well and lots survived in hoards of pennies buried during the turbulent medieval era. You can pick up decent edward I and II pennies for like $50 and $150 for a really nice one.

This penny cost me $95. I haven't fully dated class, but suspect its a 7 to 10 class and dates from 1289 to 1302.

Meanwhile keeping in theme with our medieval theme of knights, castles etc - I will post some more MEDIEVAL English coins from the era of lutes, heart shaped ruffs, escoffions and men with long hair fighting the French and holding heart shaped shields.

This coin is a early groat of Edward III minted a few years after the Black Death and during the 100 years wars of knights, castles and medieval madrigals, lone hippy haired kings and all.

The coin dates from the 1351 - 1361 pre Treaty with France period and is a Type D date dating between early 1352 and mid 1353. So this beautiful old coin is an authentic medieval witchy poo era survivor blowing out 674 candles this year.

Very nice coins Tane. The last image reminds me of Britannia, but looking to the left.

Very good Tane. The more the merrier.

Very nice. I imagine 70 is common among these newer coins.
