I don't know if I'm posting this in the wrong thread, but here it goes. This a new specimen I aquired last week. This is a 100 Ruble note from the BUKHARA SOVIET PEOPLES REPUBLIC. It's dated 1338 AH/1920 AD (probably not visible in this image) and is one of the first notes issued under the Soviet order for this district. It's also exceptionally high grade for this type of note.

Daniel,
  That is one very nice note that you've got there.

There is going to be a new gallery opening up on http://www.uscoininfo.com during this week.

Yes,it will be like http://www.zeno.ru to a certain degree,but you will be able to upload photos of all world banknotes,coins,currency tokens,& postal orders onto it.

I will most definitely be contributing to it as well.

Aidan.

Here's a specimen that I received in the mail. This is 1 Bisti coin from GEORGIA (RUSSIAN PROTECTORATE) dated 1787. The obverse shows a crude rendition of the Russian double-headed eagle with date. The reverse shows 3-lined legend in Georgian and Farsi (Persian).

Daniel,
  That's a very nice Georgian coin that you've got there.

You should take a look at http://www.coins.ge & get in touch with the Georgian guy who runs it.

Thanks for the tip Aidan. I've been to this site before. It's very interesting, and is really the only site that specializes in Georgian numismatics. I'll be sure to check it out.

How about showing off your new purchases, and put 'em up here first!



I'll start!  This one just came this morning, remember that you saw it here first!
(updated pic, finally pleased with the results)


France - 1625 , Silver jeton (info from seller)

Well, what do you know about that! I just received the latest addition to my resource library yesterday after waiting more than three weeks for its arrival - Jetons, Medalets & Tokens: The Low Countries and France, Volume Twoby Michael Mitchiner.

I found the listing for yours rather quickly because the book provides an index of quotations as a cross-reference.........QUO SYDERE TUTIOR :

Composition: Silver
620gms
27-1/2mm
Mintage: Approximately 10,000 - 9,000+ for the initial release in January - 900 for the August distribution

Congratulations, Filthy, she's a beauty!

PS. The photo specimen used in the book is EF at best.

That info is really helpful, thanks!  I have wondered about mintages (among other things) on these but couldn't find much solid info.  If the Michiner book is in English then I think I'm going to have to locate a copy.  Cool!

I appreciate the help!

[FilthyBroke]

Oh, and how would mine grade against the EF in the guide?  Just curious, I'm pretty sure the seller had mine listed as EF, too.
