Here we will look at a silver 1943 D Denver Thomas Jefferson Nickel 5 cents piece. In this year the D mint made 15.294 million of these which is a somewhat less of a production than comparable war nickels. This coin is partially made out of silver, in fact thirty five percent of it is made out of the precious metal. It has precisely .05626 ounces of silver included in it. Most of the rest of this coin (56%) is of the metal copper and the remainder Manganese. As you may have noticed in the photos below ours is not the greatest looking example. Perhaps it may grade in the very good, V8 range. These coins unfortunately (maybe because of their metal composite) do not take to wear very well and often look like this. Jefferson Nickels feature third President of the USA Thomas Jefferson on their obverse. He is well remembered for his contributions to early America including his role with the Declaration of Independence, the Louisiana Purchase, state’s rights and use of the Marines
In this post we will discuss an 1985 Indonesia 10000 Rupiah Banknote. On its front side is an image of heroine (female hero) Raden Ayu Kartini who was an important figure and advocate for women’s rights in Indonesia. She argued that the culture in Java (at the time) did not allow women to develop intellectually as they were often secluded and forced into arranged marriages at young ages. She wrote about these and other issues. After she died a foundation in her name was set up by a Dutch family who built several schools in her name. Later on President Sukarno established a national holiday in her name. Also on the front of this banknote is a picture of Candi Prambanan Temple. The back side of this paper money has an image of a female receiving her diploma. Take a look at the pictures of our 1985 Sepuluh Rebu Rupiah currency banknote below. Its appears to be in extremely fine condition with minimal wear and no pin holes or stains. Uang kertas kuno uang jaman d
