The coins of Morocco are very hard to get as they won’t let you take them out of the country. One of our contacts brought these to us. They are the bi-metallic 10 Dirham coins of 2019. They feature the King on one side and a castle on the other side. Not an easy coin to find and our supplies are very limited. If you collect bi-metallic coins it could be one that you are missing. They are Uncirculated and very difficult to find, outside of Morocco.

Having been to Nepal we can tell you that getting any coins is almost impossible in your change. The face value is so low that it costs more to strike the coins than you can spend them for. So we were very excited when we were offered a set of seven Uncirculated coins from Nepal. Six of them are struck in aluminium and the other in gold-coloured metal. You get 1, 2, 5, 5, 10, 25 and 50 Paisa. They have a crown, ox, horse, trident with sun and moon, and other symbols on the coins, most are from about 20-30 years ago. They are almost impossible to find in Nepal, but you can find them in London. You get all seven different Uncirculated coins! Try finding them elsewhere...

North Korean coins are often hard to find, but we can offer you these very plain 100 won coins struck in aluminium. They are part of the 2005 series of the so-called Second Won that circulated between 1959 and 2009. The coins also bear the date according to the Juche Calendar, which is named after the ideology of that dominates the closed North Korean State. The calendar begins with the birth year of Kim Il Sung, the founder of North Korea. This means that 1912 is known as “Juche 1”. However, the calendar was not formally adopted until 1997, three years after the dictator’s death.
