Today is a 1 Shilling from British East Africa, nowadays modern Kenya, dated 1950. This coin was minted by Heaton and Sons from the Mint Birmingham, visible by the H mint mark (in the red circle).

Depicted are a lion with mountains in the back. The obverse depicts the crowned head of king George VI, looking left.

And another coin today with a nice coin fact. Here’s a Spanish 25 Pesetas from 1957. However, this coin was minted in 1958.

Well, in short: normally when a country issues a new coin for a certain year, the mint-date will change on the coin.

The mint in Spain worked a bit different. From 1868 to 1982, the large year indicates the year that the law governing the issuance of that particular coin was passed. The little number in the star represent the year the coin was actually minted (See the fourth picture for a closeup of the little star).

So, it could be that you have a 1957 coin that was actually minted in 1971.

After 1982 they started to strike coins like most other countries; with the actual year of mintage.

Another big hobby of mine is collecting coins. Here’s a nice coin from Peru.

This is a 5 Soles 2016. The obverse shows the Peruvian Coat of Arms, the reverse shows the Nazca Lines Condor.

The 5 Soles coin with this design has been around since 2016 (2 million were made in this year) and still is being issued every year.
