Foreign 90% Junk Silver

[LongJonsSilverStack]

Hi, I'm quite new to silver coin collecting but have a large collection of pre decimal British silver coins, some are 92.5% silver others are 50% silver, I've also recently picked up a few American junk/constitutional silver coins. But as a newbie I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any other foreign junk silver, ideally at least 50% silver, I've searched online but it's difficult as not showing images or much detail about the coins. Does anyone here have any favourite foreign junk silver coins or able to recommend any I should check out or should I just stick with British and American ones as they clearly seem by far the most popular?

*Update: just stumbled across a site called Numismaster which has images of every coin from every country and you can filter them by country, weight, metal etc. Exactly what I was looking for.

Nice one. There are many possibilities for collecting old currency, most of which was over 60% silver before 1950. You could narrow down by country or size for example. Sometimes you find bundles of world silver currency coins with a variety of coins from many countries. Mostly these include Belgium, Switzerland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Italy, Mexico, America and Canada, but I have encountered coins from dozens of countries in these bundles, some of which no longer exist. It's a great experience to sift through it all, find out about the coins and imagine the journeys they have all been on.
