very cool looking coins

Thanks fat-elvis I'm glad you like them, cheers.

I like junk silver as it tell a story of the countries history and when each country moved away from mainly silver to partially silver and then no silver at all. Plus there are some great designs in junk silver.
Thanks for sharing some

It's true my friend, you can trace human history through the coinage. You can literally go back to before the Roman Empire with coins. Thanks for the reply, cheers.

really like the top 2 florins in the first pic i dont have those! :)

The first 2 are pretty common coins you can pick them up for about 5 bucks each, these 2 are only valued at bullion weight. Cheers.

These are awesome man, That sheep on the shilling is pretty damn fat, and I love the coat of arms with the kangaroo and the Emu?, It looks so out of place.

Thanks, did you notice the wheat on the threepence? at the time these coins were minted the wool and wheat industries built this country. We used to have a saying here that "Australia rides on a sheep's back" because we had one of the highest living standards in the world because of sheep, cheers.

thanks for share.

Thanks
