INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the greatly expanded 6
th
edition of
Unusual World Coins.
With over 150 pages added, over
1,250 new images and as many as 700 new issues this
new edition of the classic catalog from the numismatic
fringe leaps into the 21
st
century in a big way.
While the
Standard Catalog of World Coins
series
offers users information and values for circulating and
commemorative coins produced under the realm of
recognized government authority –
Unusual World
Coins
strives to give the user a glimpse into the murkier
side of non-official coin issues from around the world.
Though the purpose in producing many of the pieces
you will find in
Unusual World Coins
has changed
over the years, the end result is virtually always the
same – confusion for coin collectors. Sometimes
collectors come across items that look like coins, but
can’t be found in standard references like the SCWC.
What then? Turn to UWC.
It is interesting to note that classic 19
th
century
pieces like the 1848 2 Francs of Moresnet were
produced for the same political purposes as the 20
th
and 21
st
century coins currently being struck for Nord
and Padania. Everyone wants freedom.
Some however, look towards unity. Take the
United Transnational Republic 2002 Payola coins or
the Amero designed for the Union of North America
for instance and compare them to the 1948 Utopia –
A World United Dollars. Others hope to improve the
world with their coins, as is the case with the over 50
new issues you will find in our new section on West
African Tribal coinage, whose revenues benefit the
Tribal families they honor.
While others just want a place of their own.
Atlantis or Sgarabhaigh for instance or perhaps New
Island created out of the fertile imaginations of those
looking for something better. But some UWC coin
producers are only looking to lay claim, or to establish
a collectible for those areas that formerly lacked coins
for us to collect. In this 6
th
edition, many of these new
issuing entities have been added such as: Andaman &
Nicobar Islands, Redonda, Galapagos Islands, the
various Westartica Territories and North Cyprus to
name just a few.
And for those who are not new to UWC, those who
may be looking to expand their collections in areas
already explored, note that many countries in this 6
th
edition have expanded in marvelous ways. Take some
time to review Cabinda, Palestine, Greenland, Italy,
Occussi-Ambeno, Middle Earth, Kosovo, Macedonia,
Serbia or Montenegro among many others.
No doubt, our little UWC catalog has grown as the
market demand for Unusual World Coins of all types
has expanded and for those interested in the improved
value of their collections this may be the best news of
all. Values have increased for all but the most common
coins in the
Unusual World Coin
market. In classic
fantasy areas such as China, Germany and India prices
have climbed to new peaks and even those formerly
thought to be lowly, such as Gold Reef City tokens or
those types created purely for fun, such as Purple
Shaftieuland are now becoming ardently sought and
commanding much higher values.
The
Unusual World Coin
has finally come into its
own and those of us who love this field are enjoying
the warmth of the sun on our dark little corner of
numismatics.
Best Wishes,
Thomas Michael & George S. Cuhaj
