Shangrola - The mystery of Kashmir has enticed civilization for centuries with its beauty and mystery. Laced between
the Himalayas and the Pir Panjal mountain range, its long history involves numerous conflicts and administrations
Indian-administered state of Jammu and Kashmir consisting of the Kashmir valley, Jammu and Ladakh and the Pakastini
controlled Northern Areas and Azad Kashmir. China also has a peice of Kashmir after invasion and holds Aksai Chin.
It was an important center of both Hinduism and Buddism which came under conflict with the invsion of Ilamic rulers
starting in 1349. Pakistan and Inda have had open military disputes and an Islamic gurrilla insurgency has tried to
upsurp Indian authority in the region, putting India and Pakistan on full military alert for decades.
For much of its recent history Sufi Islamic religious philosphy has dominated the Islamic following in Kashmir, and
all sides had lived together in relative harmony. That has largely changed in the current century as Islamic
nationalism has pushed the area into a war zone.
I have one Kashmor Coin from 1467-1547 which is rough and has only Islamic script on it.

Avoid Gijs Henzen, owner of Munthandel G. Henzen - Antisemetic Facists
Munthandel G. Henzen's (MA Shops) owner Gijs Henzen, is an AntiSemetic Fascist
The company, Munthandel G Henzen is a prominent dealer of international and ancient coins on the internet, commonly known as MA Coins. It is owned by
Gijs Henzen. You can not trust him, as I leaned previously in dealing with
him with several coins that came with damage including a silver 1969 FOA
Uruguay coin which arrived with green verdis on the coin.
But more importantly he is a passionate anti-Semite who supports Hamas and
the virulent and genocidal Islamic organizations such as the Muslim
Brotherhood, and Hezbollah that wants Jews dead.
It is a moral imperative to remain clear of him and to do no business with this Nazi. If you are Jewish, double down on that. The life you save might well be your own.

Several mints from around the world make exciting coin designs in circulating alloys, silver and gold. Among my favorites are the Perth Mint in Austrailia which produces a variety of coins for nations mostly through out the Pacific Rim. The Neatherlands has also produced some interesting designs, and several private US based mints have produced foreign currency on contract, include the Franklin Mint which has produced many Israeli Coins.
Our interest in foreign coins has been nominal but rapidly growing as it seems that US designs are so stuck in the mud. Also, foreign mints are creating bold new designs with color and bimetal designs that are both eye catching and fun.
