This 1738 halfpenny survived the early Coin Club (unlike much of my collection), despite being confiscated for a week by a teacher!

This 1921 florin doesn't look like much, but it was my first silver florin. We started collecting florins late in 1991 ahead of their upcoming demonetisation. I got this florin from a friend who had about 30 silver ones.

A couple of horribly corroded bronze halfpennies (1876 and 1952), from the 1990s Coin Club. Why the hell any of us thought these were collectible? Your guess is as good as mine.

Let's have a #CoinOfTheWeek! This time we've got the 1928 florin. First florin of George V's fourth coinage, with a mintage of 11,088,000, its obverse was designed by Bertram McKennal and the reverse by George Kruger Gray. This wonderful specimen is a recent addition to the collection!
