THE NEW COIN CLUB
| # | Post |
|---|---|
| 1651 | Welcome to the Coin Club. We are an assortment of newbies, amateurs and experts with questions and answers for newbies, amateurs and experts in coin collecting, also known as numismatics. Whether you are just getting started, have been collecting for years or have simply found some old coins about the place that you’d like to sell, this is the place to ask your questions. No one has all the answers, and you may get five differing answers to the same question, yet each may be right in a manner of speaking, especially if opinions are involved. Opinions often vary. If you receive no answer to your query within 48 hours, please ask again. chefman1 - 2013-04-08 22:51:00 |

Not really, I saw the film last year but had to check up the denomination! My question - On coins who had their apotheosis marked by a star and in who's name were the coins struck? Bonus for naming the type of coins! chrisr5 - 2013-04-11 17:55:00 |
| 1659 | Augustus, on an aureus of Tiberius (AD 14). Interestingly there's a silver denarius with the same design illustrated at Wildwinds.com. translateltd - 2013-04-11 19:47:00 |

Now the enlargements are up, I seem to make out "HAFNER" under the koala. Perhaps it's Emil Hafner, who seems to have produced a number of medals/medallions in Australia, though I can't locate this one on a quick google search. translateltd - 2013-04-12 09:32:00 |

I had in mind a denarius of Augustus with the star of Julius on but you are also correct. So your turn to ask the next question. chrisr5 - 2013-04-12 15:28:00 |
| 1663 | Funny, I thought I'd heard of one with Caesar but couldn't find any refs. The Augustus/Tiberius one was what I turned up when looking for the Caesar example! On to a question: Whose bust on his coinage carried the designer's initials O.S., which were a source of some amusement at the time? translateltd - 2013-04-12 15:39:00 |

OS is apparently Afrikaans for 'ox' which caused some humour when it was stamped on Paul Kruger's bust. According to the story nearly causing him to lose an election. I'm sure that last bit wasn't true though. Edit - sorry used 'apparently' 3 times in 2 sentences - remedied. Edited by chrisr5 at 5:36 pm, Fri 12 Apr chrisr5 - 2013-04-12 17:34:00 |

Nice. I know I'm out of turn but I can't resist asking: if you add up the mintage of the octagonal and round versions of the 1915 $50, the total is the same as the total mintage of which other well known coin? translateltd - 2013-04-12 18:30:00 |

Oddly enough the first coin I checked was the Waitangi crown and it was the same - both at 1128. If you were to get me one for my birthday I guess I'd be hoping for the $50 though (but either would be nice). chrisr5 - 2013-04-14 19:30:00 |

You live and learn :-) I've never seen the higher figures in 40 years of reading coin books, though I now see that the Red Book rather naughtily says "Distribution" rather than "Mintage" for the commemorative issues, not just the Panama-Pacific $50s. It's very likely that more were made and the unsold balance melted. translateltd - 2013-04-14 20:09:00 |
