I need to work on the next newsletter soon, but first, a reminder about this fortnight's #MysteryCoin - it is a small round silver-coloured coin with "50" in a striped square, CENTAVOS below & "50" in small braille dots below that.  Where / when might it be from? #Numismatics

I like a simple, captivating image on a coin. I think this one is great. Three volcanoes under a beautiful sun. Learn about volcanoes, Guatemala & what coin collecting has to do with birding (Hello to all the bird-watchers!): coinofnote.com/1901-guatemal… #SaturdayNightCoinShow

Did you guess the mystery coin from a couple of weeks ago? It was the 1959 Iraq 1 Fils. The coin with the distinction of being the first Decagonal coin! And an interesting design in any case. Read all about it here: coinofnote.com/1959-iraq-1-f… #SaturdayNightCoinShow #MysteryCoin
