Coin from my collection 46-48
Hello again,
Continuing to do some more research on the various coins I have been collecting, I will be exhibiting them here, in this format once or twice a week.
The coins I currently have in my collection probably range in dates from the early 1800s to the end of the 1900s, and they consist mostly of Bronze and Silver pieces from around the world.
If you find this topic interesting, then please read on.
*keep in mind that most of my coin collections are passed down through my family (or found coins), I have just recently started adding purchased coins into the set.
So their values (for me) are mostly sentimental.

A very beautiful coin from Venezuela. You said that the owl is a coin. From what country?
Sorry, the owl is just a close-up from the lower-right front, of the Venezuelan coin (same coin). I thought the detail was good on that for such a small coin.
The 1 sentrimo I really like the design of the women... looks so interesting
The woman's name is Lapu Lapu. I wish this coin was in better condition, the story I got from a relative (a long time ago) is that the coin was found after a Vietnam battle, and shrapnel probably caused the damage to it.
