I cannot say "Thank you!" enough to express my gratitude for the thoughtfulness and effort it took for
@silverd510 to locate these coins.
@silverd510 sent me five coins, all dated 1888! I will show two of coins today, and the other three, tomorrow.
1888 Finland 1 Penni - Alexander III
This is a precious coin from Finland. The obverse has the Latin script of the letter "A III" with a crown above the letter. This is the Imperial monogram of Alexander III.
Alexander III was the emperor of Russia from 1881 until 1894. He was well recognized for being extremely conservative and a fervent advocate of Russian nationalism. He inherited the throne after his father, Russian Emperor Alexander II, passed away.
The reverse of the coin is plain with the denomination and year, 1 Penne, 1888. The edges are plain, but both faces of the coin have beading around them.
A part of Sweden from the 12th century until 1809, Finland was then a Russian grand duchy until, following the Russian Revolution, the Finns declared independence on December 6, 1917.1
The coin is sealed in a heavy plastic sleeve. It came with a certification number. The coin is guaranteed to be genuine!
Finland, country located in northern Europe. Finland is one of the world’s most northern and geographically remote countries and is subject to a severe climate. Nearly two-thirds of Finland is blanketed by thick woodlands, making it the most densely forested country in Europe. Finland forms a symbolic northern border between western and eastern Europe: dense wilderness and Russia to the east, the Gulf of Bothnia and Sweden to the west.
1888 Canada 1 Cent - Victoria.
A very attractive coin! And I love early Victoria
Victoria is wearing a tiara. The legend in Latin is not shortened, the way the modern coins are: Victoria Dei Gratia Regina. In the bottom is the country of origin, which is Canada. It is a large coin!
I also love the reverse. Maple leaves all around, in a wine. And 1888!!!
This coin was minted at the Royal Mint in England.
From 1858 to 1907 most issues of Canadian coins were struck at the Royal Mint in London, England, with additional issues from the Heaton Mint of Birmingham. The official opening of the Ottawa Branch of Britain's Royal Mint on January 2, 1908 was commemorated with the striking of a fifty-cent piece. The Mint's historic site on Sussex Drive is still in use today.2
While we are discussing Canada, I wish I had access to these silver dollar coins of Canada: 1935 Silver Dollar George V, 1937, 1938, 1945, 1946, 1947, and 1951 George VI Silver Dollar, 1955 Silver Dollar Elizabeth II, 1964 Siver Dollar Charlotte Town, 1966 Small Bead Silver Dollar. Someday.
