Hungary for Coin

Do you have a Hungarian coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment

Finally cleared out the left side of my desk from any lingering coins. This was the last of what I thought were interesting coins I got from a huge lot a while back. Now the right side of my desk has a few "bad" coins that are crusty of almost worn that I have to photograph but that may take some time so enjoy this little filler.

It is 116 years old and from Hungary. Although dated 1893 I'm not sure if it was minted in 1893 or 1892 as the book list mintage for both years as 1892.

10 Fillér K.B, the KB is the mint mark for Kremintz.

MAGYAR KIRÁLYI VÁLTÓPÉNZ which means Hungarian Royal token coin.
I think VÁLTÓPÉNZ should be separated to VÁLTÓ PÉNZ but my Hungarian is almost non-existent.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 10 Filler / Hungary
Year: 1893
Mintage: Unknown less than 15,753,000
Metal: 100% Nickel
Value: $0.25 in F-12(although the verdigris on this one drops the value to metal value)

There are some edge varieties but with only one I don't have enough to compare it to and little information from any other source.

1 Day or 8 Years

It is still a fresh wound and the threat is still out there.

Once again on September 11, 2001 nineteen Muslims under the banner of Al-Qaeda hijacked four planes and crash most of them in American buildings. The loss of life was large. Right-wing-Islamic religious hate is what sparked the attack as none of the hijackers were poor or oppressed.

Never forget.

1974 Canada Cent

Nothing special to see here but I feel I must post something coin related before September 11.


Found in my change with a few older nickels but nothing to write about. I have a summary on Canadian coins that I want to share but that may take some time due to my new schedule.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Cent / Canada
Year: 1974
Mintage: 692,058,489
Metal: 98% Copper, 0.5% Tin, and 1.5% Zinc
Value: $0.02 in F

I did enjoy the pictures taking with a borrowed camera, lots of nice color and contrast.
