Modern World Coins

Machine-struck national coinage from the nineteenth century onwards.

Scope

Coinage from the late medieval and early modern periods through machine-struck national issues. Entries record the issuing state or province, denomination, metal, measurements and the obverse and reverse designs as described by the holding museum.

Year-by-year repeats of the same coin are not listed separately; each issuer keeps a small selection of distinct denominations and designs.

What to record when identifying

  • Issuing state, province or trading company
  • Denomination and date
  • Arms, portrait or value side as described
  • Diameter and weight from the museum record

Compare the identifying evidence

Both faces and legend
Record and compareTranscribe each face separately; mark illegible letters and compare portrait direction, reverse attributes and legend breaks.
Limits of the evidenceA similar portrait or reverse alone is not a type match. Wear can hide the decisive letter.
Issuer, mint and date
Record and compareKeep the historical authority, original calendar, mint symbol and its exact position together in the comparison.
Limits of the evidenceAn event date or ruler's name is not proof of a striking date; mint abbreviations need a dated reference.
Mass and dimensions
Record and compareRecord measured mass, maximum diameter and measuring equipment; compare with the source's stated range, if any.
Limits of the evidenceWear, corrosion and clipping change measurements. Neither a matching weight nor a photograph authenticates a coin.
Edge and die alignment
Record and compareRecord lettering, reeds, seams and orientation of the reverse relative to the upright obverse.
Limits of the evidenceFront photographs cannot establish the edge or die axis. Do not infer either from a catalogue description.
Type versus variety
Record and compareRequire agreement on denomination, designs, legend, date and mint before considering die or privy-mark varieties.
Limits of the evidenceA museum accession is not a standard type number. Catalogue edition and exact locator must be supplied independently.
