What is this Napoleon 20 franc coin worth?

Owned by someone in my family they plan on giving it to me sort of like an inheritance in the future. I know it’s just one coin but what’s its gold value?

Finally got myself a George VI half crown!

I’ve mostly collected small 3 pence coins of his majesty King George V but yesterday I decided to go big and buy this Half crown for 15 dollars. My goal is to make a full pound with coins. I’ve accumulated enough to equal 3 shillings.

How much in silver do I have?

Been finding and buying coins for about 2 years now. Most the smaller ones I’ve found in change. The Kennedy half dollar I found in a drawer. And I bought the half crown and half dollar for 38 dollars.

Did I get a good deal of a dollar for these 17 year Showa coins?

I got these Japanese Sen all for just a dollar. It’s 17 Sen in total.

Jettons of Louis XIV of France.

Bought these two coins for 10 dollars each. How did people in the past count with these anyway? The first one is from his early teenage years and the second is from the 1690s.

Was given a challenge. Someone I know said I will inherit these two items if I make it to my 50s

One is a Napoleon 20 franc and the other is a 8 reales from the Cazador shipwreck. I will only get them when I make it to 50. I’m 17 right now 😭

Need help identifying ottoman coins.

I’ve spent almost a month now trying to identify these little pieces of copper scouring books and the internet for them. All I know is there ottoman and probably minted in turkey.

Don’t know if this is only for Austria Hungary or the habsburgs but I got something awesome. 1662, 8 Spanish Maravedis. Only a few Spanish coins had Philip IV on them.

Not in the best quality but it was produced in Peru then shipped on boat to Spanish territories and Spain.

Found in area which could have been ottoman. Thick piece of copper or brass.

I think it’s ottoman but it’s also just a stamped piece of copper or brass.

Recently gifted old Spanish colonial money.

My grandfather used to work in the past excavating and recovering Mayan and colonial artifacts. He wasn’t allowed to keep most things he found but these two he pocketed. And gave them to me. I really love how you can see Philip iv in Latin and his crude looking bust portrait.

Earliest depiction of the Chi Rho symbol. Metal detecting find.

I love Christian artifacts and metal detecting. These two coins are the find of my lifetime. Both coins depict the Chi Rho Symbol for Christ on the back. The staff the emperors hold is topped by the symbol. First is Valentinian I and the second is of Constantine II.

Need help identifying small Roman coins.

I’ve mostly identified other coins I’ve found but I’m stumped in these two. My guess for the first one is either constans or Constantine II. And the second coin is a floral pattern.

Items I’ve found from metal detecting. Roman coinage.

The last two I’m not so sure what they are. And for the second coin I can’t tell if it’s constans or Constantine II. But I really enjoy this hobby to add to my collection.

George III coin

Originally bought it for 1 back in 2024 and kept it ever since. What I wonder is its true value since it’s king George iii. And what denomination it is.

Found a King Louis XVI coin.

In pretty bad shape but I’m interested in it’s worth and what denomination it is. I found it metal detecting and I’m just a big fan of ugly faces on coins.
