Monde. George VI. (Sans prix de réserve)

A curated copper and bronze world coin collection featuring late 19th- and mid-20th-century circulation issues from Northern Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, assembled around clearly identifiable historic minor denominations with strong collector relevance across multiple former monarchies and colonial territories. The group includes several Finland issues from the Grand Duchy and early modern Finnish series, notably 5 Penniä dated 1873 and 10 Penniä dated 1875, together with a later 5 Penniä 1899 piece, representing classic Nordic copper coinage struck during the Russian imperial period and highly recognizable for their large numeral layouts and wreath motifs associated with Helsinki mint-era production. These Finnish pieces anchor the lot with strong Scandinavian appeal and visible dates that support period classification within late imperial Northern European numismatics. Southern African material is prominently represented by two South Africa 1 Penny ship-type bronzes dated 1942 and 1944, both bearing the well-known sailing vessel reverse and bilingual SOUTH AFRICA / SUID-AFRIKA legend associated with wartime Union of South Africa circulation coinage under British Commonwealth administration. These Pretoria-linked bronze pennies remain highly collected due to their maritime iconography and wartime context. The same regional section includes British Southern Africa-related and colonial-linked material through a Queen Elizabeth II issue from East Africa, identifiable as a hole coin reading QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND, a denomination type strongly associated with East African circulation systems and central holed copper-alloy minting traditions used in British colonial East Africa and adjacent territories. North African representation includes Tunisia with a clearly dated 10 Centimes 1917 coin marked TUNISIE, an important French Protectorate issue reflecting Arabic and French colonial monetary history in Tunis and broader Maghreb circulation. Additional Arabic-script coinage appears from the Persian sphere, with an Iranian copper issue carrying Persian inscriptions and crowned emblematic motifs characteristic of Pahlavi-period or earlier Persian civic coinage, expanding the collection’s Middle Eastern geographic depth and strengthening regional diversity for collectors focused on Arabic and Persian numismatics. The collection also includes Jordan through a clearly legible Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan 10 Fils dated 1955, with bilingual English denomination and state legend, representing postwar Levant monetary reform under Hashemite administration in Amman. This type remains sought after because of its transitional copper-alloy style and clean mid-century Arabic-English bilingual design language. British imperial and Commonwealth material includes large portrait bronzes of George VI, with two matching portrait coins carrying GEORGIVS VI REX IMPERATOR legends and facing bust designs associated with wartime and immediate postwar Commonwealth bronze denominations, likely from India or East African circulation systems where George VI portrait coinage was widely distributed. A worn Queen Anne copper coin is also present, identifiable through the surviving ANNE DEI GRATIA legend and bust profile, offering an earlier British copper component likely dating to the early 18th century and adding significant chronological depth to the group. Southeast Asian representation is visible through Rhodesia and Nyasaland, including a half penny dated 1958 with central perforation, clearly reading RHODESIA AND NYASALAND HALF PENNY, alongside a Queen Elizabeth II holed coin with animal motif associated with central African federation coinage. These pieces document late colonial African monetary history during the Federation era and are notable for their distinctive perforated bronze style. A religious medal-like copper token marked 1763 with radiant heart imagery and devotional iconography appears to originate from Catholic European devotional production, likely Iberian or Central European, adding exonumia interest alongside the formal coinage. The combination of Scandinavian, South African, Tunisian, Jordanian, Persian, British, Rhodesian, and East African issues creates a geographically broad curated collection emphasizing visible dates, monarchic transitions, colonial mint traditions, multilingual inscriptions, and historically recognizable copper denominations suited for collectors of world bronze coinage, colonial currency, and late imperial minor coin series.
