During World War One, known as The Great War, the Royal Mint was so busy with the war effort that they did not have the time or facilities to make all the pennies that were required for circulation, so they asked two private mints in Birmingham to strike pennies for them in 1918 and 1919. The coins from the Heaton Mint carry an ‘H’ mint mark and the King’s Norton Mint coins carry a ‘KN’ mint mark. The mint marks are to the left of and just above the date on the pennies. The coins on offer are in Fine condition and a stark reminder of what happens when we are at war.

This small brass coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition was issued in Ethiopia during the reign of Emperor Haile Selassie and bears his image on one side and the Lion of Judah on the other. It is dated 1936 in the Ethiopian Ge’ez calendar, which is 1944 in the Gregorian calendar. Despite this, not all were minted that year as there were subsequent issues in 1967 and 1973, but with the same date. Haile Selassie himself was deposed in 1974 and is believed to have been murdered in prison the following year. In the Rastafari movement, he is regarded the returned messiah of the Bible.
