Fiji Penny 1966 BU

Between 1872 and 1969 Fiji used a pre-decimal pound similar to that used in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. However, there were some notable diff erences in the coinage used here, and one of them was the smaller copper-nickel penny with a hole. On the obverse there is a legend (Queen Elizabeth the Second) and crown around the hole, while the reverse shows the country’s name, denomination and date. We now have a number of these uniquely designed pennies dated 1967 in Brilliant Uncirculated condition to add to your collections.

During the reign of George III there were several issues of copper halfpennies, the last of which was dated in 1805. Minted in England, the coins show the bust of the king facing right, while the reverse shows the traditional Cláirseach or Irish harp between HIBERNIA and the date below.

These small silver 1 dirham coins circulated in Sindh province, which is located in what is now south-east Pakistan. Also known as “damma”, the coins were in use during the rule of the Habbari Dynasty, which ruled Sindh and the Punjab between 854AD and 1011AD. The coins themselves date from the time of the founder of the dynasty, Umar bin Abdul Aziz al-Habbari, who reigned from 854AD until 884AD. Although there has been some wear and tear, these coins are over 1,000 years old and are in Very Fine condition.
