With the International Token Web Conference coming up in just a few hours, including my presentation on "7 Miles from Sydney and a thousand miles from care: The Port Jackson and Manly Steamship Company Tokens", I thought I'd a) give it a plug #SaturdayNightCoinShow 1/n

[Coin of Note @CoinOfNote]

You should definitely come to the International Token Web Conference - someone who may be known to the @CoinOfNote account will be presenting a lecture on the "The Port Jackson and Manly Steamship Company Tokens"

@volante_el .900 Silver: https://t.co/o0w60elJHk
These Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic coins were minted 1921-2, but issued in 1924 along with Soviet Union coins. Both series from 10 Kopeks to 1 Ruble were were the last circulating silver in Russia: https://t.co/dwikk4wVs2

The Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic was an independent socialist nation from 1917-1922 when it became the largest of the Soviet socialist republics of the Soviet Union (USSR) from 1922 to 1991. This 50 kopeks was issued in 1921. #SaturdayNightCoinShow

@LesCoinsUK Ah well, maybe it will sit there for ten years and then I'll find a book on all the varieties which will have a picture of mine and a three page explanation, who knows!

The newsletter is very late this fortnight, but I'm about to board a long flight home, so it will be even later. In the meantime, can you guess this tricky small coin?

Let us know, and don't forget to sign up for the newsletter to find out the answer! https://t.co/1KEEHgtHfy

[Coin of Note @CoinOfNote]

@LesCoinsUK Yes there seem to be a few variants. Most of the ones on Numista are listed as copper with a few silver and one brass. Mine is definitely a yellow metal, brass or bronze

[Coin of Note @CoinOfNote]

@LesCoinsUK Hey now that I've written up the post on the coin, and just working on the newsletter.... Do you have ANY information about the design on the coin? Numista, NGC, etc have nothing - except a couple of notes on specific variants, but nothing on the overall design?

[Coin of Note @CoinOfNote]

@LesCoinsUK Thank you! And yep, uneventful flight, which is what you always want. Now I need to get onto writing....

[Coin of Note @CoinOfNote]

@LesCoinsUK Perfect timing, I'm just writing up my newsletter now, thank you! :)

[Coin of Note @CoinOfNote]

Can you guess the Mystery Coin? #WhatIsIt? Tell us! It's a bronze coloured coin. "1" between two ... towers?, "Kobo" below.

Don't forget to subscribe to the fortnightly newsletter to find out the answer (& next #MysteryCoin first! https://t.co/1KEEHgtHfy

@LesCoinsUK Do you have a link to that video, I'll include it when I post about the coin :)

An interesting pieces in this week's E-Sylum about how ancient Roman lead pollution can be tied to coins: https://t.co/tFDCjivkwq - It is (or was) terrible for the Romans, but fascinating to see how things like this can be traced back.

Bismuth is one of my favourite metals. I wrote about it last year: https://t.co/04LiVV9VBR

If you enjoyed that & a little science, you may like this video by The Action Lab on the strange #magnetism of #Bismuth: https://t.co/W6oZvFA0CO He does a lot of great #science videos.

Who guessed this fortnight's #MysteryCoin? It was a 1988 #Ecuador 50 Centavos: https://t.co/ZFUhjFCWIg Learn about the country with a river coming down a mountain on their coat of arms! What is your favourite landscape on a coat of arms?

This is an ad & you could make one cheaper, but I do like the idea - imagine a penny set, each with a picture of something from that year. Have you ever done or seen anything similar?

A #Medallion for a very Happy Valentines Day to all!

[Coin of Note @CoinOfNote]

@CacheCoins It is! They come in all shapes and values - I meant to add a photo of a few of them though I couldn't find a lot about the various values or prices though, which is why I didn't say a lot about it in the post (which meant it ended up being more about the ferries than the tokens!)

[Coin of Note @CoinOfNote]

For #TokenTuesday, here is a ferry token from Sweden, with an unusual value. Let's visit "The Venice of the North" in today's post: https://t.co/MUFAbWVZJh

I need to work on the next newsletter soon, but first, a reminder about this fortnight's #MysteryCoin - it is a small round silver-coloured coin with "50" in a striped square, CENTAVOS below & "50" in small braille dots below that.  Where / when might it be from? #Numismatics

@TheRifleman11 @Arrowheadbroken Thank you! And thank you for your contribution to it :)

[Coin of Note @CoinOfNote]

@TheRifleman11 @Arrowheadbroken Thank you - I added a little bit to the bottom of my post on this coin with links to those references (I couldn't find the specific video but https://t.co/AY0vOhZuPC has a lot of resources for people in any case) - and a credit to you for them :) https://t.co/gsJ4O3itAw
