South Korea, Mint Set 1982-2017 (6 coins)

Jordan has been in the news of late due to an attempted coup. Richard has been to Jordan twice and they are some of the nicest people he has met in the Middle East. We hope that everything is OK now and life returns to normal. We just got in a set of Jordanian coins which we had ordered some time ago, good timing for us and for you… The set comprises 5 coins of King Abdullah II, 1 Qirsh or Piastre, 5 Piastres, 10 Piastres, 1/4 Dinar nickel brass and 1/2 Dinar bi-metallic. All the coins are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and it is not an easy set to get. Richard tried when he was in Jordan and failed to buy any, so we know it is tough.

Cambodia in modern times has had quite a turbulent history and has gone through changes of their name. The four coins here include one issued under People’s Republic of Kampuchea (their name for their country) and three for the Kingdom of Kampuchea. They were made in 1979 and 1994. The four coins are all in uncirculated condition and from a country that is not easy to get coins out of. It took me a time to work them out as the legend is in Cambodian and not English.

Six coins, 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 & 500 Pesos, the 100 & 500 are bi-metallic, South America, make great wine.
