This 1794 Flowing Hair Dollar is done in bronze instead of copper, and Ron’s  statement on this piece is that apparently he only did 2 of these in bronze ‼️‼️👀👍
The 1796 “”15 star” half dollar has the certification insert card  with the numbers 0000, so apparently this is the first of the archive strike of the the 15B in proof‼️‼️👍👀

You’re right, I looked at a 1907s Peso O/S with the Wilson dies I bought from Jeff, and found that it was the only Peso that is “double struck “ with the Wilson dies.
I was wondering why it didn’t look “blended” with parts of both pieces,(  Wilson and Peso), that’s when I noticed it was double struck, and that made it hard to see the host coin………..the second strike was slightly off-center ‼️‼️🎯👍

European Coins / Re: Türkiye / Turkey new 5 Lira Coin

Beautiful coin from Turkiye. Glad to see you back Renal. I hope you and your family have been keeping well. I have done some trades with another friend in Turkiye, so my collection has grown since we last traded. I look forward to seeing your new site. I'm going to need that new coin now.

Glad you liked it Steve.

The website is online now. and since you asked; it feels less of a shameless self-promotion to share the link :D

The English pages are a subset of the whole content as I am translating the originals gradually, as I can find the time for it.
(All your comments; positive or otherwise are very much welcome)

Thank you for the link Renal. I have saved it, but it's getting late here, so I'll check it out tomorrow.

Cheers

Steve :)

Thanks for sharing the link. Very interesting and informative site.
I hope the English pages will grow soon because I don't speak Turkish.
I am not a collector of world coins like Steve. Yet, I do have a type set of the New Lira coins. I also have some of the circulation commemoratives. But quite a few are still missing. And of course, I need to add the 5 Lira coin to the set.


By the way, I have a question about the current 200 Lira banknote. Perhaps, you might be able to answer it.
I see on numista that the number of printed 200 Lira banknotes for Series I (2009) and Series II (2013) is given on numista. Any idea where numista got these figures? Are these figures accurate?
Printing figures for the other series are not given.
I searched the website of the Turkish Central Bank. You can find the number of banknotes in circulation there. But not the number of printed banknotes. At least, I wasn't able to find them.
So, I am wondering here the information about the printed number comes from.
