2015 China 500Yuan gold came in the mail today. Usual crappy phone pic...

Got some old Britannia issues from a coin show I went to today...

1997 UK BU 100 Pound Britannia gold (Britannia as Boadicea on Chariot)

2001 UK BU 100 Pound Britannia gold (Britannia as Una and the Lion)

2003 UK BU 100 Pound Britannia gold (Britannia as Helmeted Athena)

Plus another current year...

2014 Canada BU C$50 Five Blessings gold

1847 GB Gothic Crown

2011 Canada C$200 99999 gold Royal Canadian Mountie and 2014 UK £100 9999 gold Year of the Horse

I have 2 examples of the 500 million mark notgeld but just had to get this set of 3 - 1923 Germany hyper inflationary notgeld (emergency money)

1923 Germany 50 Million Mark notgeld

1923 Germany 100 Million Mark notgeld

1923 Germany 500 Million Mark notgeld

About the coin/s: Kienast K-644 - Ruhr & Rhein German people's offering 1923.

Obv. Legendless. Central design is Prometheus chained to a rock with an eagle picking at his liver.

Rev. Legend: DEUTSCHES VOLKS-OPFER RUHR u. RHEIN 1923 50 MILLIONEN MARK (German people's offering Ruhr and Rhein 1923, 50 million mark). Central design is an eternal flame.

On the edge: NOTGELD (Emergency money)* incused.

In addition to the above there are 2 other coins with the value of 100 million and 500 million mark, respectively.

Struck - 33 mm in diameter. The 50 million value in brass. The 100 million value in white metal or silvered bronze. The 500 million value in gilded metal. Designed by the famous German medalist Karl Goetz.

Love your gold set trozau!

Thanks!
