On the Italian coin with the "axe" at 4:23 is a boat rudder. The thing coming off of it is the handle to turn it.

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Hey Jesse... thanks for the information. I'm not too involved with boats but I think I know what you're talking about... good thinking.

The Farthing is one of my favourite coins from England. It was a tiny amount of money. There were FOUR of them to ONE penny. They were TWELVE pennys to a shilling, and TWENTY shillings to a pound. That meant that you would need a staggering 960 Farthings to make a single pound. Even by 1950, the farthing was so worthless most people stopped bothering with it. The Royal Mint quit with the minting of Farthings in 1956 and they were finally withdrawn from circulation in 1960. The bird on the coin is a Wren, a tiny little bird.

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Totally!!

The square coin was from outside France 🇫🇷 and the u is silent

We never owned Cuba, Spain did. I think the image on the Italian coin was a rutter

[@TreasureTownCoins]

You're right Dan. Thanks for the comment.

[@bflorijn]

Cuba was made an American protectorate after the American Victory over Spain.

#2:27 QE2 (Queen Elizabeth II is on most coins produced by countries within the British Commonwealth. #3:02 We NEVER REALLY owned Cuba, but had plenty gambling casinos there before the Castros took over, 3:43 The Bailiwick of Guernsey is one of the Channel Islands between Britain and France. #4:24 Boat's Rudder. #6:27 Most likely steel medallion (NOT COIN). Little or no value. #7:10 "Farthing" = 1/4 Penny (12 Pence [Pennies] = 1 Shilling 20 Shillings = 1 Pound) This system (Pound Sterling) was abandoned when England "decimalized" the Pound (100 Pence = 1 Pound) in 1967. #8:07 "ETAT FRANCAIS' German Occupied France (Vichy State) #8:51 Early Italian coin.

Thanks for the tips!

[@akimi9862]

Treasure Town where do u get these coins from? And is there any way to find out their worth’s? And are they in England by any chance since I’ve started to collect and your channel has helped a lot Greetings from england (:

3:28 Devaluing and revaluing are not the same thing. When a currency loses value, like the Turkish Lira back in the 90s, that is devaluation. But when a currency is updated for a new one with a rate of 1000:1, that is revaluing. Oh, and I have a tip for you. One hundred yen is worth one dollar, not ten cents as you might have thought at the time. Recap at 6:53 A farthing is a quarter of a penny at that time.

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Thanks for the info!

[@thomasconrow5980]

The Russians revalued the Ruble at 1000:1 ( I think it was the mid 90s)

[@chitrahegde4657]

1:43 That five pence is actually quite special,as it was the variant that was released when the decimilization system came into Britain in 1971. It's actually bigger than a normal five pence.

[@vilstef6988]

All the British coins you had were the two most recent monarchs, George VI and Elizabeth II. The Hong Kong coin had a portrait of Elizabeth II which I had never seen before. The Millard Fillmore is a token which was a gas station giveaway from the 1960s

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Thanks so much for the info! Glad you saw a new one!

[@vilstef6988]

@@@TreasureTownCoins You'd have something a bit rare if you'd had an Edward VII coin. He was George VI"s brother and was king about 7 months in the 30s, and was not Coronated. He's the one who abdicated to marry his American lover. British coins and commonwealth coins which show the monarch have each new monarch facing the opposite direction of their predecessor. Edward VII would be facing right like Elizabeth II. I haven't seen a recent enough British or commonwealth coin to know if they've changed Elizabeth II's portrait. There is a young one of her 1952 to about 1967. Victoria had young view which I think changed to an older view in about the 1870s. I've picked up a bit of this information from my recent interest in mudlarking and treasure hunting videos.

[@jameskruczek9635]

the Vittorio Emanieil coin is from Italy 1862 - 1867

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Thanks for the info James... looks like you're right about that.

[@aidanshaw3958]

A farthing is a quarter of a cent.

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Thanks for the info Shy Guy... good to know.

[@Evilmonkey7270]

Actually, it's a quarter of the British penny, which would have been about 2 Canadian old cents, so about more like 1/2 a cent.

[@dataexpunged2827]

A cent is 1/100th. A farthing is a quarter of a predecimal penny, with 960 of them in a pound.

[@aidanshaw3958]

Also that coin is Napolonic Coin

[@mickowen568]

What did you do with all that time you saved by typing 2 instead of to?

[@teresaj8068]

I learned a lot .Thanks

[@TreasureTownCoins]

For sure!

[@silvercoinedge8228]

Yeah, I love randam world lots of coinage. You get some right junk and worthless mass minted stuff. The 1948 Half Crowns were mass minted that year: 71 million according to my British coins book. The reason for this was because of the debasement following Britains bankruptcy following the war. If your Half crown had 1946 on it, it would be half silver. The square coin is from the channel islands, off the coast of France. They are a territory of the British isles. That coin is worth a few pounds, but the mass produced later 40's Half Crowns are worthless, only about 25 pence each (local coin shop price, he has a bucket).

[@joshuanewbould7956]

the 1942 franc is from vichy france

before 1971 (pre-decimal) there were 240 pennies in a pound.

@@trevor_1963 yes I know, but my point was the penny has always been the smallest unit in England.

Apart from the Farthing, which makes an appearance here. One quarter penny.
