Congo, Warriors of the World, Chinese Warrior_obv

Congo, Warriors of the World, Chinese Warrior

The ancient Chinese warrior was originally not part of an army but more of a solitary nomadic person travelling the land helping those in need and righting the wrongs done to the common people by their oppressors. Folklore and novels describe them as being princes, government officials, poets, musicians, physicians, professional soldiers, merchants, monks and even humble farmers and butchers. Some were just as handy with a calligraphy brush as others were with swords and spears. The Chinese Warrior is seen here on this 10 Franc coin from the Democratic Republic of Congo in traditional dress, brandishing a long spear.

Crusader States_Antioch_Bohemond III_(1163 -1201)_Denier_obv

Crusader States, Antioch, Bohemond III (1163 -1201), Denier

The First Crusade was declared in 1095 by Pope Urban II and its objective was to provide military support to Byzantine Emperor Alexios I against the Seljuk Turks, as well as reclaiming the "Holy Land" from Muslim rule. The Crusades started around 1095 and continued for nearly 200 years, during that time four different Crusades were made to retake Jerusalem. The Crusades in the Middle East ended when the city of Acre fell in 1291. These silver deniers or pennies were issued in the name of King Bohemond III (1163-1201), who in the summer of 1191, alongside Guy de Lusignan met Richard of England (Lion Heart) during the siege of Acre. Richard was part of the Third Crusade (1189–1192), an attempt by three European monarchs (including Richard of England) to reconquer the Holy Land from Saladin. The coins on offer have a helmeted Crusader Knight on one side wearing chain-mail and were minted in Antioch (modern-day Turkey) which was captured in 1098 during the First Crusade. The legends read BOAMVNDVS on the obverse and ANTIOCHIA on the reverse and they grade Good Very Fine. These coins are now over 800 years old!

Picture of Cuba, 1 Peso (50th Anniversary of UN) 1995 Unc - in  Bubble Pack

Cuba, 1 Peso (50th Anniversary of UN) 1995 Unc - in Bubble Pack

This crownsized Cuba 1 Peso was issued in 1995 for the 50th anniversary of the United Nations. Usually a one peso coin will be rather small, but this case it is a full 38mm. More importantly it comes in the original bubble package. The current catalogue price is $17.00 about £13.50. You have a group of faces with a dove of peace in the background. The obverse has the Cuban coat of arms. This piece was part of the Royal Mint United Nations programme and most collectors have never seen this coin.

Picture of Cuba, 1 Peso (Don Quijote & Windmill) 1982 Unc

Cuba, 1 Peso (Don Quijote & Windmill) 1982 Unc

Perhaps one of the most famous literary figures was Hidalgo Don Quijote, the famous knight who charged a windmill. Of course from this, we all now realize that tilting or running at a windmill will get us nowhere, except perhaps a broken back or neck. In 1982 Cuba issued a special commemorative One Peso coin for Don Quijote. It shows the Knight on horseback charging at a windmill, lance at the ready. The mintage of this Uncirculated 1 Peso is only 7,000 coins, so we think our price is quite attractive. Don’t tilt at windmills, do buy this coin as a reminder to keep your head about you.

Picture of Cuba, 1 Peso (Flora Azahar) 1981 CN Unc

Cuba, 1 Peso (Flora Azahar) 1981 CN Unc

This cupronickel One Peso coin was issued by Cuba in 1981, it was part of the Plant and Flora series. This particular coin depicts the Azahar flower. What we found most amazing is the mintage. According to Krause, the mintage is just 3,000 coins, which in any case would be very low indeed. The coins are large and thick and in Uncirculated condition and with a mintage of just 3,000 coins, rather difficult to get. While our small supply lasts, you can have this Cuban 1 Peso for just £7.95.

This is one of the Cuban coins more difficult to get and we are fortunate to have a nice group in Uncirculated condition at this attractive price, which makes them even better.

Cuba, 1 Peso 1983 (Olympic Ice Hockey) CN Unc

This cupronickel One Peso was issued by Cuba in 1983 for the Winter Olympics held in Sarajevo. It should be noted that the mintage is a very small 3,000 pieces, which in today’s collecting terms can almost be called rare. The coins have two ice hockey players facing off and the obverse has the arms of Cuba. We think this whole series is much under-appreciated and one day that might well change.

Cuba, 1 Peso 1984 (Castillo el Morro) CN

One of the many series that Cuba has issued over the years is a series of one Peso coins depicting different Castles. The one on offer is for Castle Morro and it was struck in 1984. It is low mintage and in Uncirculated condition. Unfortunately, we cannot sell them to any American collectors, as it is illegal at this time to export them to America. You have the Castle on one side with a key below the castle, the other side has the arms of Cuba and the denomination. Not an easy coin to find, it is now over 30 years old and you won’t find them in America.

Cuba, 1 Peso 1985 Bosque FAO CN Unc

This cupronickel One Peso was issued by Cuba in 1985 as part of the United Nations FAO programme. The mintage is just 5,000 and the current Krause catalogue price is $10.00(£6.45) which we think is too low for such a low mintage. You have a modern rendition of a rainforest on one side and the arms of Cuba on the other side. The coin is in Uncirculated condition and now some 33 years old. We think this coin is being sold too cheaply, but in the spirit of giving you a bargain, here we are!

This One Peso is struck in cupronickel and the mintage is just 5,684 pieces. They are in Uncirculated condition but have mellowed a little over the past 26 years.

Cuba, 1 Peso La Volanta (Horse-drawn Coach) 1984

This Cuban One Peso coin was issued in 1984, some 33 years ago. It was part of the Transportation series and shows a horse-drawn carriage, which is known as La Volanta in Spanish. The mintage of this important coin is just 5,000 examples which is very very small for any series. But for Cuban coins, once the embargo is lifted in America, this may turn out to be a key coin.

Picture of Cuba, 1 Peso Man in Boat

Cuba, 1 Peso Man in Boat

This is a fantastic One Peso coin from Cuba. It was issued in 1982 and it honours the American writer Ernest Hemingway on his getting a Nobel Prize for literature in 1952. Hemingway kept a house in Cuba for years and it was one of his favourite homes. Today it looks like America and Cuba might make up their differences and one day Americans might even be allowed to collect Cuban coins. This coin shows a scene from his novel The Old Man and the Sea, with a fisherman fishing from a very small boat. The coin is One Peso, it is struck in cupronickel and is in Uncirculated condition.
