Hi - see images, coin appears to have complete details with no nicks, scratches, dents - it does have some uneven toning.. love the way the veil is so detailed and the toning makes it so much more realistic.

It looks nice enough but I'd want to see it in hand before ponying up any $$ on it. Where in Australia are you?

Charles E. Barber (of Barber half/quarter/dime fame) is listed as the engraver of that Cuban coin.
It is probably the first time that the coat of arms appeared on a coin.
Here is a modern proof coin, the details are different.

Great looking coins here. Every time I lurk in these threads I think it would be nice to get some old beautys ..

I had some luck with a box of coins I got a garage sale (yard sale for our American freinds). It was just a box of old coins so not costly. I did some checking on the net, found a cool site (you guys already know about it probably) that has made the search for info. on what I found a LOT easier http://coinquest.com/

Here are some I have already searched.

1872 Indian Head Penny





1888 Jubilee Half Crown





1883 Hawaii Dime







These didn't come in 2X2's, all of the coins were just loose in the box .. I put them into the 2X2's so I can write on them to keep track of what these coins are
 
Gorgeous coins, the coin from Palau looks very similar to the coat of arms on the German states coins
 
Nice coins Mirrorman, the Hawaiian coins in general are very scarce and highly sought after
