1962 US Roosevelt Silver Dime

In this post we will look at a 1962 silver Roosevelt Dime. On its obverse is the 32nd President of the United States of American: Franklin D. Roosevelt. He was the chief during some the very trying times facing America including the Great Depression as well as the Second World War. FDR served from 1932 until his death in 1945. The back side of this US silver dime 10 cent piece has a torch on it, an oak leave as well as an olive branch. This particular one that we have is quite nice at least almost uncirculated grade in any case.

The Roosevelt Dime’s design was implemented to honor the late President and started being struck the year after his death and is still be produced today. Silver was discontinued in these (with the exception of certain special issues) after 1964.

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.

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.
