India - Gold Fanam These tiny gold coins, called fanams, were issued by a number of Indian states between 1700 and 1830. They have a diameter of about six millimetres and weight about one third of a gram.
Ionian Islands - Lepton From about 1809 to 1864, the Ionian Islands of Corfu, Cephalonia, Zante, Santa Maura, Ithaca, Cythera and Paxo were under British Rule. In the later part of this period all the coins featured Britannia on their reverse.
Iran - Pound Persia was renamed the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979 when the previous monarchy was toppled. The coin shown is a revolutionary commemorative gold pound. Its Islamic date reads 1358 which translates to 1979.
Isle of Man - Halfpenny The Isle of Man has been under the protection of the British Crown since 1288, and has long issued its own coins. Between 1864 and 1971 there were no coins issued, but nowadays the main export of the Island appears to be coins specially produced for sale to collectors.
Italy - Gold 20 Lire Italy has existed as geographical concept for millennia, but is was only from 1861 that Italy was unified as a nation. Our photo shows a gold twenty lire coin of King Vittorio Emanuele dated 1861.

We would be interested to hear whether you think this page would be more useful if we reduced the images sizes, perhaps to 120 x 120, to enable faster loading.
