Monde. Collection of 555 coins

Extensive mixed world coin collection spanning the 18th and early 20th centuries, featuring a broad range of European copper, bronze, and base-metal issues with strong representation from Great Britain, continental Europe, and colonial-era mints. The lot includes numerous British issues such as Victorian and Edwardian large pennies and halfpennies, with seated Britannia reverses, crowned bust obverses of Queen Victoria, Edward VII, and George V, and visible dates ranging from the mid-1800s through the early 1900s. Several English halfpennies dated 1871, 1873, 1875, and later years are present, along with worn but legible large pennies showing classic maritime Britannia iconography and natural circulation patina. Continental European material is well represented, including Belgium, with a professionally graded example from the Brussels mint: a 1909 Belgium 50 centimes struck in French legend format, graded AU-58 by NGC, featuring the bearded portrait of Leopold II. Additional Belgian minor coinage appears loose in the group, alongside coins from France, the Netherlands, and surrounding regions. Scandinavian presence is suggested by Finnish issues, including an 1852 copper coin marked with “F.M.” mint attribution, consistent with Grand Duchy of Finland coinage under Russian rule, and later Nordic minor denominations. German states and Imperial German-era coins are visible, including copper and bronze Pfennig denominations from the late 19th century, with clear wreath designs, imperial eagles, and Gothic numerals. Austrian and Austro-Hungarian minor coinage appears as well, showing traditional laurel wreaths and denomination numerals. Russian Empire copper issues are identifiable by Cyrillic legends and large denomination numerals, with surfaces showing honest wear and original brown to chocolate patination. The collection also includes various older colonial and trade-era pieces, mixed European minor silver-toned alloys, and heavily circulated copper coins with smooth fields and softened devices typical of long circulation. Several coins are housed in 2×2 cardboard holders with handwritten attributions such as “England,” “½ Penny,” and dated identifiers, while many others remain loose, creating a visually dense and historically varied assemblage. One NGC slabbed coin is included among the raw material, adding a certified reference point within the group. All coins show natural aging, oxidation, and circulation wear consistent with their age, with no evidence of modern cleaning or artificial toning. Surfaces range from light brown to deep chocolate, with occasional verdigris on copper issues, and legends and dates remain partially to fully readable across much of the material. The assortment reflects accumulation from multiple European regions and mints over more than a century of monetary history. This is an unsearched collection, offered exactly as found, with no prior cherry-picking or selective removal. Ideal for world coin collectors, bulk lot enthusiasts, dealers, historians, or those seeking attribution projects, type examples, and study material from Great Britain, Belgium, Germany, Finland, Russia, and wider Europe, covering the Victorian era, late 19th century industrial age, and early 20th century pre-war period.
