Sweden, 1940 1 Kroner Uncirculated

This Scarce medal was struck by the Philadelphia Mint on a blank that would have been usually used for a US Cent. They were made for a special Mint Set that was only released in Great Britain. You have the shield of the arms of the US Treasurey on one side. The other side has a giant ‘P’ to show that it was minted at the Philadelphia Mint. These coin/medals are in Uncirculated condition and as far as we can find out, we are the only coin dealers offering them. An interesting and scarce addition to your collection.

This is a set of seven Ecu’s that was originally issued by the International Currency Bureau

The autonomous region called the Trans-Dniester Republic issued a most unusual set of coins in 2014. They are made of a composite material, are semi-transparant and have a textured surface. This was originally part of the Russian Federation but is now ‘independent’. They are a plastic type material but with a hardness that produces a stone like sound when rubbed. They were issued by the Trans-Dniester Republic Bank and there are 4 denominations. 1 Rouble circular, 3 Roubles square with rounded corners, 5 Roubles pentagon shaped with rounded corners and 10 Roubles hexagonal with the rounded corners. They have the rounded corners for ease of use and for ease of machine readability at high speeds. These were an experiment and who knows if they will continue to issue them. But we thought that they were very interesting and rather well priced so we obtained 100 sets of them. Supplies are limited.
