That's what I would have done to justify it - but I have too many sets on the go at the moment!!

Won quite a few silver coins in auctions recently 3 of 5 of them finally arrived today.

This is a French 10 Francs coin made of .680 silver, 1932 dated, this design was made (from silver only) from 1929 to 1939, with 40,387,667 million being minted in 1932 alone, this coin looks AU/UNC condition with most of its original lustre.
The translation of the reverse is as follows

Liberty
Equality
Fraternity

 

 

 

Next is a British India 1/2 Rupee, made of .500 silver, 1943 dated, this coin was made in huge numbers and there is many different variations even for one years production, there was three types of this coin made by the Bombay Mint in 1943 (Proof, small edge teeth and large edge teeth, which mine is the large edge teeth) and two made by the Lahore Mint, Bombay Mint has a small dot underneath the flower at the bottom of the reverse of the coin, the Lahore Mint has an L there instead, production was as follows for the two mints that year alone.
Trying to find even an AU grade of one of these coins has been a challenge, most seem to have been well used.

Bombay  90,400,000 million
Lahore    9,000,000 million

 

 

 

And finally got this Swedish 2 Kronor coin, made from .800 silver, 1936 dated, this coin had a very long but low yearly production life (for a circulating coin), King Gustav V not changing his portrait on the coins for decades, this design was made from 1910 to 1940, with 491,296 made in 1936, not my largest coin but now my heaviest at 15g
Quite a lot of lustre on this coin but the pictures don't show it as usual.

Lovely coins as usual and interesting write up! Love the Kronor - definitely one of the more inspired Swedish coins and stunning in this condition ! I have the same  rupee as yours. The amount of varieties in the rupees makes collecting them so frustrating! Equally as annoying are Belgian coins which produced identical coins, some with Belgie (Dutch) and some with Belgique (French), requiring collecting (and purchasing) of 2x each coin! similarly with some later South African coins with Afrikaans and English writing. Thanks for sharing

Very nice, I will eventually get some gold in my 1930 - 1945 stack, seen a few I like but being extra cautious until I learned all about them first.
