Today I want to show.....

[ChrisSilver]

The idea of this topic is a similar sort of topic to the “Today I bought.....” and the Today I received.....” but you can showcase any item in your collection, not just one you have recently purchased  

Please only share 1 item per day per member. Please feel free to also add a description and more information about your item or reasons behind the purchase should you wish. A show and tell type of topic  

To start this topic, here is a 1/2oz proof Kookaburra from the World Money Fair to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Kookaburra series from the Perth Mint. This has a mintage of only 2500. And was also produced in a 1oz version. Minted by Perth Mint, Australia. It features the same kookaburra design of the 1990 coin.

Cool idea 🙂 

I've got a macro lens arriving in a couple of days, so this will be my excuse to take some photos of coins this week 😄

Here was my first Britannia.

Cook Islands $5 1oz Silver Time Capsule coin.  I didn’t go looking for this, didn’t even know it existed, but got it in a bulk purchase and really like it.  A quirky little coin!

This video shows the detail better than my pictures (not my video) -

I'm more a stacker than collector but I am proud of this. 

Its precious metal content is relatively low at just over 15g of Sterling silver, but its historical context is interesting and makes it my only truly numismatic coin.

I received the following over the past few days. I'm blaming @BackyardBullionfor me buy the 50 pesos! He showed his in a video!!!!
