Pre-Yugoslavia 1 and 2 Dinar Pair

Although Yugoslavia was created in the aftermath of World War 1, it did not become the country’s official name until 1929 when King Alexander I installed a personal dictatorship to promote a more centralised state. Until then it was known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and the old Serbian dinar was introduced to all the regions gained from the Austrian Empire in 1920. These 1 and 2 dinar coins we are now offering, minted in 1925, bear the portrait of the king on the obverse side with his then official title of King of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.

Australia, George V Calcutta Mint Penny_obv

Australia, George V Calcutta Mint Penny

Although for a long time most Australian coins were minted in London, Sydney or Melbourne, production during World War 1 was transferred to the Calcutta Mint in India to prevent currency shipments from Europe being intercepted by the German Navy. Unlike all other coins for use in Australia, these pennies did carry an “I” mint mark on the reverse just above the date. We have a small number of these coins struck between 1916 and 1918 in Very Fine condition.

Picture of India, Ancient India, Elephant Copper Coin

India, Ancient India, Elephant Copper Coin

We were offered a group of ancient Indian copper coins recently; they were issued between 59- 131 AD. They have an elephant on one side and some circles on the other side. They were very crudely struck; after all, they were a very low denomination at the time. They are from Satavahanas, Pulomavi in India. We went through 2,000 coins in the hoard and picked out the best ones available. We went for the best elephants that we could find, in fact, we bought only 10% of the hoard, and these were the only ones that we thought were of sufficient quality for our customers. A very old coin but it won’t cost you the earth. As the elephant is now endangered, we think this ancient coin is very appropriate.
