Please be aware... I am no coin expert. Titles here are either what I was told when acquiring these or are from a simple Google search. I make no claim as to them being 100% accurate but I make an effort to be as factual as I am able when posting. There may well be some duplication of coin type or variety, but I try not to double post any single coins. My feeble brain may slip on that from time to time. These are all from my semi worthless collection of world coins from over the years. Little to no value exists in most (if not all) of them. They are just a hobby.
A heap of foreign coins accumulated over the years by my parents and by me.

One of a series of digital abstractions inspired by the Constructivist movement begun in Russia.
Constructivism was a post-First World War outgrowth of Russian Futurism, and particularly of the 'corner-counter reliefs' of Vladimir Tatlin, which had been exhibited in 1915. The term itself would be coined by the sculptors Antoine Pevsner and Naum Gabo, who developed an industrial, angular approach to their work, while its geometric abstraction owed something to the Suprematism of Kasimir Malevich. ....the theorists Alexei Gan, Boris Arvatov and Osip Brik would arrive at a definition of Constructivism as the combination of faktura: the particular material properties of the object, and tektonika, its spatial presence. Initially the Constructivists worked on three-dimensional constructions as a first step to participation in industry: the OBMOKhU (Society of Young Artists) exhibition showed these three dimensional compositions, by Rodchenko, Stepanova, Karl Ioganson and the Stenberg Brothers. Later the definition would be extended to designs for two-dimensional works such as books or posters, with montage and factography becoming important concepts.
These works are most influenced by Vladimir Tatlin's 'tower'. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:TatlinMonument3int.jpg
"The canonical work of Constructivism was Vladimir Tatlin's proposal for the Monument to the Third International (1919) which combined a machine aesthetic with dynamic components celebrating technology such as searchlights and projection screens. Gabo publicly criticized Tatlin's design saying Either create functional houses and bridges or create pure art, not both. This had already led to a major split in the Moscow group in 1920 when Gabo and Pevsner's Realistic Manifesto asserted a spiritual core for the movement. This was opposed to the utilitarian and adaptable version of Constructivism held by Tatlin and Rodchenko. Tatlin's work was immediately hailed by artists in Germany as a revolution in art: a 1920 photo shows George Grosz and John Heartfield holding a placard saying 'Art is Dead - Long Live Tatlin's Machine Art', while the designs for the tower were published in Bruno Taut's magazine Fruhlicht.
The "heads" side of a coin is properly called the obverse, "tails" is the reverse.
This pack of coins was issued in 1968, three years before the decimal coins were introduced. The five & ten pence coins could be used straight away as they were exactly equal to the one and two shilling pieces.

He comes to the beach early morning waiting for the coins that are thrown into the sea during the last rites performed to wash up to the shore. Picking up the coins is his job, he makes the living out of it.. and this has been his job for long.
He waits in the scorching heat.. waits and waits for hours expecting a coin

Coin Trees work on a similar principle to Wishing Wells. Passers by drive coins into the trunk of a tree using a heavy stone. In times gone by it was believed that a coin driven into a tree by a sick person would cure them. If the coin was then removed, the person who removed it would contract that particular ailment. Coin Trees are most commonly found in the northern half of England and in Scotland. A silver coin dated c.1700 has been seen in one of these trees.
