[No. 7 cat]

Vichy France or L'Etat Francais 1 Franc. Note the 'travail, families, patrie' slogan. Issued 1944, so probably only legal tender for a short while, yet likely used for a bit as it looked similar to a late 3rd or 4th Republic coin.



1917 250 Rubles. Perhaps a Provisional Government note. Note the uncrowned double eagle.

 

[No. 7 cat]

San Marino commemorative 10 Euro for 500 years (1505-2005) of San Marino's uniformed militia.




Series C & D UK £1 notes (likely '70s and '80s) and a 1994 Mozambique 1000 Meticais

 

[No. 7 cat]

1872 shield sovereign. Jean-Baptiste Merlen, Royal Mint Assistant Engraver, was the engraver.

The other is an 1892 widow head gold sovereign with Pistrucci's St George and the dragon.

It sits atop a modern Golden State copper or bronze round of a 1929 Indian head dollar. It was cheap enough and looked nice.
