This first is a five dong piece minted in 1966. Not very rare at all, but I think it's pretty nifty.
Side 1: VIET-NAM CONG-HOA
Side 2: NGAN-HANG QUOC-GIA VIET-NAM
I don't know what that means, but maybe some of you do. Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
This second one is a ten pfennig piece from 1918. Maybe not too rare, but still neat.
I've always been interested in war history of all sorts. Though I don't know if it was minted during wartime, but I figure it's close enough.
Side 1: DEUTSCHES REICH
SIDE 2: Awesome eagle emblem. I know it's hard to tell. I need a new camera.
More to come when I (hopefully) figure out the little lighting problem I'm having.
All pictures taken with my Canon SD550. Great little camera, but I think I need to upgrade.
