Heavily worn coins have a charm of their own. I can only imagine how many years this one spent jingling in the pockets of Romanian workers.

Coins come in all kinds of shapes and techniques.
Here are some bullet coins from Siam (Thailand): small silver bullets, bended into an almost ball shape and stamped. This kind of coins was used from the 13th century up until 1904.

Interesting discussion in the latest issue of the Bulletin of the French Numismatic Society: are the wreaths on the coins of the Achaean League olive or laurel leaves? The difference matters when describing coins accurately!

This silver medal was issued to celebrate the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. It depicts the destruction of a Spanish galleon as members of its crew cling to the rocks and floating debris for survival. This example is from the Hunterian collection.

A massive scam is currently being judged in France, involving one of the most recognized experts in 18th century furniture and a talented cabinetmaker. 1/5

It's not only about mass-produced cheap fakes that are easily recognizable. The high prices reached by some rare coins probably attract some high-skilled forgers. I wonder what percentage of rare coin auctioned every year are actually perfect copies. 4/5

Also, there is no doubt that some rare varieties referenced in catalogues were never minted outside of the workshop of a talented counterfeiter. 5/5
