1800 - New Thread
I'm headed on Christmas vacation tomorrow, so I might be a bit slow updating the title posts (if at all) for the next week, just pay attention to the dates...
I love these threads, know that now we get before 1848 the year of revolutions and big gold deposits in the USA, we are heading back into pre Steam press made coins that are not perfectly round or have edges, like the Spanish 8 maravedis coin.
19th century coins were marvels of technology, perfectly round, standard weights and well designed, before that it gets witchy poo with confusing denominations and badly struck pieces. Can't wait.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

To commemorate the "Springtime of Nations" of 1848, here are two coins, one representing the old order and another the new:
1848 A Austria 20 Kreutzer - Ferdinand I https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces18459.html
Ferdinand I was mentally incapable of ruling; so when he succeeded to the throne of Austria in 1835 following his father Franz I's death, the Austrian foreign minister Metternich became effective head of government, and his conservative, reactionary policies are credited with sowing discord in the immediate leadup to the 1848 revolutions in Austria's Empire, which put an end to both Metternich's government and Ferdinand's reign.
1848 A France 5 Francs https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1180.html
The Second Republic was proclaimed in February 1848 after Louis-Philippe became the second French monarch in a row to flee to Britain (after Charles X in 1830, and soon to be joined by Napoleon III). It would only last a few short years, as later in 1848 Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, the famous Corsican's nephew, would win the presidency in a landslide election and then make himself emperor after a coup d'état in 1851 (déjà vu for some older French people alive at the time).
My cheap tablet I use traveling isn't letting me post pictures... I'll update when I get home Wednesday
For 1846 I have a USA half dollar and large cent.
Nothing too special to look at, but this cent is one of the most important coins in my collection. I found it when I was about 8 years old, really gave my interest in the hobby a huge boost
1843 A French Colonies 10 Centimes - Louis-Philippe https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces3665.html
This coin was struck for circulation in the Marquesas Islands in what is today French Polynesia.

Sorry that coin is dated 1862 not 1842. I have an 1863 of it. Cupronickel was very new then.

1836 British Guiana 1/4 Guilder - William IV https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces19574.html
British Guiana had been created only a few years prior in 1831, when the formerly Dutch (now British) colonies of Essequibo and Demerara were joined with Berbice.
Bavaria - 3 Kreuzer 1835 - King Ludwig I https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces15596.html
Quite hard for me to make sharp pictures of such tiny coins right now but a macro-lens is underway so in future the pictures may become better.
My oldest American coin: 1833 United States 5 Cents https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces11135.html
Pre-1830 US coins are few and far between in Europe, and affordable/well-priced ones are even fewer and further-between.
To avoid posting the same Congress Poland złoty, here's my recent 1832 acquisition:
1832 Saxe-Coburg Gotha 6 Kreuzer - Leopold I https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces26760.html?mobile=0
Saxe-Coburg Gotha was the home of Queen Victoria's future husband Prince Albert; and in fact it's royal family, the Coburgs, came or married into so many other royal positions (like the crown of Belgium) that Otto von Bismarck called this small Duchy, the "stud farm of Europe".
Your collection of American coins is very impressive, love seeing what you have for each year we go back.
I will actually show something when we get to 1826 and 1820

Thank you! I only have about a dozen more, and some of those are very poor condition
1831 W France 1 Franc - Louis-Philippe https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces2091.html
Originally picked up for £10 in a UK junk bin, the pre-1870 French silver denominations below 5 Francs get progressively rarer as you go back in time, since recalling and recoining silver coinage minted under previous, defunct regimes was common practice in 19th century France (and there were A LOT of regime changes in 19th century France). It's also why the Banque de France, since 1800 has issued notes with no indication of politics.
After some big gaps 1831 is a year where I got quite some coins but Ill not double post stuff so just those two for today:
France - 5 Francs 1831 - King Louis Philippe I https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6003.html
Portugal - Pataco/40 Reis 1831 https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22137.html
Quite worn coin minted during the war between the brothers Pedro who wanted to rule just in brazil and Miguel who took the throne from Pedros young daughter
For the July Revolution of 1830, two French 5 Franc types from two different regimes and a bit of history:
1830 K France 5 France - Charles X https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces2111.html
When the Bourbons had been restored in 1814-15 after Napoleon's defeat, they joined the "Holy Alliance" of conservative monarchies dedicated to opposing liberalism, but to his credit Louis XVIII recognised the French people would never tolerate a return to the pre-1789 absolute monarchy. However when his more reactionary brother Charles X became king in 1830, his lavish coronation and rule with an iron fist seemed to indicate his desire to turn back the clock, and when he dissolved the Chamber of Deputies, that was the last straw.
1830 A France 5 Francs - Louis-Philippe https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6003.html
So in July 1830, the "Three Glorious Days" (27th-29th July) saw Charles X flee the capital for Britain, as his troops deserted him, and a provisional government was declared after the last Bourbon monarch had gone. This provisional government (headed by the famous Marquis de Lafayette) ultimately gave the French throne to the cadet branch of the Boubons, the Orléanistes, making Louis-Philippe a constitutional monarch like the British monarchy- which upset a lot of the more radical republican revolutionaries, who felt they had been cheated out of a republic. Despite being disliked by both liberal republicans and conservative, "legitimiste" monarchists, the July Monarchy hung on for 18 years until the revolutions of 1848.
1829 A French Colonies 10 Centimes - Charles X https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6183.html
Minted for circulation in French Guiana, perhaps this coin circulated in what would later (in 1852) become France's most notorious penal colony, Île du Diable.
