Happy (slightly belated for most) feast day of Saint Eligius / St Eloi! Known as the patron saint of Numismatists, he holds a special place in the hearts and prayers of coin collectors. We particularly remember him on the 1st of December (or the 2nd if you are a little behind, like me this week!). More info on him: https://coinofnote.com/saint-eligius/

Quora suggests the US Lincoln cent as the most produced single coin (> 500 billion): https://www.quora.com/What-coin-has-been-produced-the-most-in-history - I was thinking Chinese cash coins, and maybe they were overall (across all "1 Cash" coins) but maybe no specific variant was produced that much?

We found this Western European coin of about AD 1000 during investigations near Örebro the past weekend. It is rolled up but complete. Weight 1.05 g. Diameter 16 mm. The motif on the visible side is an equal-armed cross with four pellets. The many peck marks are indicative of the Viking Period bullion economy.

Yep, the Dirham Background Radiation pertains here too. I am submitting a paper soon where I argue that our volume figures for the dirham silver coin importation of AD 800-970 are drastically off. Because these coins are not mainly in hoards. They are thinly spread over every field south of River Dalälven.

I feel @jamesthomson might appreciate this:

So y’all remember #Swarm app (spin off from #FourSquare)? When you check in and earn #coins, it animates them falling/flying/splashing around the screen.

The number of coins in the #animation correlates to the number earned for that checkin.

Usually a checkin gets just a few coins. Sometimes bonuses will net 100+.

I had two checkins today with insane bonuses resulting in 600+ coins each. The app choked horribly trying to #render the animation!!

Conned by a huge misinformation campaign, Australians yesterday were convinced to vote against acknowledging First Nations Australians in the constitution. I feel like all I can do is to share several First Nations related contributions to Australian numismatics & extend my thoughts to First Nations Australians. https://coinofnote.com/2021-first-nations-australians-2-coins/ The malicious "no" campaign, did not speak for all of us. #FirstNations #Aboriginal #Indigenous #Numismatic #CoinCollecting #Coins #SaturdayNightCoinShow

Card with black top and red bottom divided by curvy white path. Obverse of the three coins featuring the Jody Clark portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The name of the coins is printed underneath each coin. Text above reads: Struck by the Royal Australian Mint, this trio of 2021 Australian legal tender $2 coins honours Australia's First Peoples. Text underneath gives the specifications of the coins and that it is a commemorative pack issued by Downies Collectibles and limited to 5,000.

What do you think of the new series of UK coins? See https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/business-67091137.amp

I really like them and I am looking forward to seeing them in hand.

And I see a squirrel for @MaJ1

I really like the style of these new coins.

Compared the current ones, one can see so much more clearly what the value of the coin is.

Two 10th century coins from the Caliphate, found over the past weekend at Södra Husby in Nora parish. The fieldwork was organised in collaboration between Örebro County Museum and the Swedish Metal Detector Association. Photos by Per Torgén.

Yngve Karlsson says: the complete coin was struck at Samarkand in the year 308 after the Hijrah (=CE 920/21). The reverse gives the names of the Caliph al-Muqtadir billah and the Samanid prince Nasr ibn Ahmad.

I love learning about the way things used to be different. Did you know that giving someone a half penny in change used to mean EXACTLY that - a penny, cut in half? Here's one from Henry III's time: 1247 - 1279. More on this here: https://coinofnote.com/henry-iii-long-cross-cut-pennies-1247-1279/ #SaturdayNightCoinShow #Numismatics #Coins #Change #History #Learning

In 80 #Coins around the World

https://in80muenzen.khm.at/en/

Aclever & engaging way to mobilize #numismatics for #history

"We were used to being able to reach any place in the world easily within 24 hours. Then the Covid-19 pandemic hit and travelling became something special again. As little as a century ago, however, travelling often took months and was frequently dangerous.

"This exhibition portrays sixteen people from the course of history, or rather: it shows the contents of their wallets"

Coins have always been an indispensable but often invisible travel companion. Like time travellers, they have often survived centuries, sometimes even millennia, without damage and are now considered historical documents that bear witness to past cultures.

A very exciting Coin of Note announcement today! Just in time for your #SaturdayNightCoinShow reading pleasure, I present: the Coin of Note website! https://coinofnote.com/ Some slightly longer musings on the kind of things I post here with more research and links. #Coins, #tokens, #exonumia. #Numismatics in general. It remains a personal project to share the joy of numismatics, it's not a shop. Please boost and let others know!

#CoinCollecting #history #hobby

Text "C of N" on a postal numismatic cover surrounded by coins and tokens. List below, but see https://coinofnote.com/about-coin-of-note/ for more details on each:

A Japan 4 Mon coin from 1768-9 with a lovely pattern of waves

A Peru 1/2 Sol 1944, a coin with a beautiful coat of arms

An ancient Greek coin showing the owl of Athena, which really sparked my interest in ancient Greek coins

A religious pocket token quoting Mark 10:27: "With GOD, all things are POSSIBLE.", a medallion from my collection of pieces with bible references

A Gettone Telefonico telephone token from Italy

A 1 Falus coin from Morocco, a wonderfully tactile coin (1259 / 1843)

A Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway check from the USA, an interesting type of industrial token I have become interested in recently

A 2021 Superb Fruit Dove Tuvalu Dollar (as part of the PNC), a coin and envelope with a lovely design

A Saint Eligius Medal, a beautiful piece, depicting the patron saint of our hobby

An 1856 16 Skilling Rigsmønt coin from Denmark, where my family once emigrated from

A 1984 2 Forint coin from Hungary

A Port Jackson & Manly Steamship Company pass from Australia, a set of passes I gave my first numismatic talk on

I'd also like to point out that #Monero's :monero: #AntiASIC position resulted in a more diverse or at least #decentralized #Mining #Community that isn't paywalled so hard that one needs to be a #Billionaire just to get Crumbs.

In fact #Bitcoin :bitcoin: 's and #Ethereum's #MiningPower and #Coins are more centralized than #weath in the #USA and "P.R." #China and only beaten by #NorthKorea in that regard.

Tho considering #Buterin's Stake in #ETH I doubt it.

They were too easily faked so they were replaced by the 12-sided two tone ones some years ago.

Question for he #LIS #library folks on here: I'm looking for a simple way to embed #bibliographic #metadata into an #HTML page for consumption by tools like #Zotero. #CoinS / #OpenURL / #Z39_88 seems to be an option and it does work. But there appears to be no field for the #editor(s) of a #book and I'm having troubles with the #DOI. Documentation seems hard to find -- this seemed useful, but limited: https://web.archive.org/web/20140922055507/http://ocoins.info/cobgbook.html. – Where should I look? Or are there better alternatives to #CoinS?

and folks, I think we just found a new winner for the bad idea compression algorithm. 6 words, and the only ones I'm comfortable with are "with" and "in".

OK, so, here's something really from the 9th century:

a silver denier à la légende chrétienne of Louis the Pious:

unidentified mint, c. 822-40

People are often surprised to find that #medieval #coins are so small & light. Presumably, they have seen too many movies about buried treasure and expect massive hunks of silver & gold.

These are tiny & wafer-thin:
c. 21 mm dia.; weight c. 1.5-176 g

A US dime:
17.91 mm dia., 2.268 g

"Precious metal" was, after all, precious

Any #Histodons here know where my coin might be from and how old it is? I can't find anything similar online. The man has a serious moustache!

An enormous hoard of more than 8,400 #medieval silver #coins has been unearthed in #Scotland. Many are pennies of the English kings Edward I (1272-1307) and Edward II (1307-1327). #numismatics #archaeology https://bit.ly/3UYFLTP
