1955 Fifty Lire L.50 Italian Coin Repvbblica Italiana L 50

The Lira was formerly the currency for the country of Italy until it adopted the Euro in the year 1999 (though the former was honored until 2002). Its use dates back nearly 200 hundred years and at one time certain Lire (plural for Lira) coin denominations had silver and even gold in them.

See the pictures of an Italian fifty Lire coin (Koin Kuno Italia) from 1955. The front of this example has a picture of Ceres who was the Roman goddess of grain. The back of this coin has a man with a hammer hitting an anvil, perhaps a blacksmith. This L.50 Lire is made out of stainless steel and something like seventy million were made. This one would grade at least extra fine as wear is minimal.

1837 Liberty Head Hard Times Token

This post will take a look at an1837 Liberty Head Hard Times Token. On the front is Lady Liberty flanked by stars on each side with American motto in latin words E Pluribus Unum. The bottom of the obverse displays the year 1837. During this period in US history a depression was going on and tokens like this were used as money (hence why it is called a Hard Times token). On the reverse is the phrase "MILLIONS FOR DEFENSE NOT ONE CENT FOR TRIBUTE." This was coined by Robert Goodloe Harper in the late 1700s in defiance of a request of bribes by Talleyrand (French Foreign Minister) in order to negotiate. Apparently this wasn't something out of the ordinary for Talleyrand to request, American diplomats were offended. The Quasi War occurred shortly afterwards and lasted for a couple of years.

1985 INDONESIA 10000 RUPIAH BANKNOTE

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.

Silver US 1933 Walking Liberty Half Dollar Coin San Francisco Mint

Silver US 1933 Walking Liberty Half Dollar Coin San Francisco Mint In 1933 the US mint only made silver half dollars in the San Francisco mint. They made 1.786 million of these Walking Liberty 50 cent pieces in the S mint and this was after a break of 3 years. The previous year of production for these was 1929. Silver was continually used comprising 90 percent of this coin or in measurement terms .3617 ounces of the precious metal. The mintage isn’t that high and they were only made in one mint that year. This coin was struck in arguably the worse year of the Great Depression and there weren't a large supply of coin minted in general. Walking Liberty Halves began in the year 1916 and I would say their design is the most memorable of any US 50 cent piece in the 20th century. Certain silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are keydates can command large premiums especially those with very low mintages (especially in uncirculated grades).
