# 967 - Ships on Coins -Final

ronavel in LeoFinance • 3 years ago

I am very fond of ships on coins.

I know that many people share this fondness. I have a few coins depicting ships.

So, I will post a series called "Ships on Coins" and I will show all the coins that I have on this theme.

There will be no order of presentation or country of issue. As the coins are stored in several places, I will simply search on each place and publish those that I found.

The thirty fifth is a 2004 $1 "German Colony".

This is the last coin of this series.

Since I began posting this series, I was searching for info about this coin and I finally found something on its COA (Certificate of Authenticity).

It weights 32g and is made of Neusilber (a mixture of copper, nickel and zinc that looks like silver) with Proof finish. Its mintage was 20,000 units.

It commemorates the period when Northern Mariana Islands were a German colony (1899-1918).

The reverse shows Emperor Wilhelm II and his yacht Hohenzollern II.

The obverse shows the Northern Mariana Islands' emblem.

Thank you for reading. Please comment, upvote, reblog and advise me.

Was Neusilber common to German coins @ronavel, I thought I read this somewhere?

I checked on en.numista.com and I could not find one coin made of copper-nickel-zinc. That is strange...

That is strange...I remember seeing "German Silver" on Ebay last year. I believe it was the same composition...

Talking about coins, there are, at least, ten times more the number of places that emitted coins than the number of countries in the world.

You got me thinking.
Not sure whether to get into Steam ships as well.
You know my dream ship is the !8th Century Light frigate update to today's standards; Global GPS Nav, Marine comm. Satellite tracking, 1600 hp Cummin's Diesel inboard engines and optional hot tub.

Thanks for sharing

Thank you for the upvote. I am sorry to tell you that SMY Hohenzollern II was scrapped in 1923 in Wilhelmshaven and you cannot buy her.
