The first coins featuring aircraft were issued by the Weimar Republic of Germany in 1930. The 3 Reichsmark and 5 Reichsmark coins featured the dirigible Graf Zeppelin and a total of 1,001,000 of the 3 Reichsmark coins were issued as well as 400,000 of the 5 Reichsmark coins. Since 1930, many countries have incorporated airplanes and other types of aircraft in their circulating and non-circulating legal tender coinage. At Black Mountain Coins we offer multiple examples of these airplane coins for your collecting enjoyment.

Rep Of Sierra Leone WWII Series Battle Of Britain 2005 $1 Unc Crown

$14.99

” What General Weygand has called the Battle of France is over. The Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, This was their finest hour.” Winston Churchill House of Commons, June18th 1940

Ukraine 2005 Antonov An-124 Ruslan Cargo Airplane 5 Hryven KM-362

$14.99

Ukraine – Antonov An-124 Ruslan Cargo Airplane – 5 Hryven – 2004 – Mintage 50,000 – KM-337 – The Antonov An-124 Ruslan is a strategic airlift jet aircraft. It is the world’s largest ever serially-manufactured cargo airplane and world’s second largest operating cargo aircraft. First flown in 1982, civil certification was issued on 30 December 1992. It has an on-board overhead crane capable of lifting up to 30 tons of cargo, and items up to 120 tons can be winched on board. Since the type was initially designed for only occasional military use, original An-124s were built with a projected service life of 7,500 flight hours with possibility for extension. However many airframes have flown more than 15,000 flight hours. In response to complaints by commercial users, the An-124-100 version has been built since 2000 with an improved service life of 24,000 hours. Older airframes are being upgraded to this standard. Additional retrofitting is being performed to extend its service life to 40,000 flight hours.

Isle of Man 1995 Aircraft of WW II Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk One Crown Unc

$16.99

The Curtiss P-40 was the first fighter flown in action against the Japanese forces in Burma before the official US entry into WW2. As wartime experience in the P-40 mounted, Curtiss made many modifications. Engineers added armor plate, better self-sealing fuel tanks, and more powerful engines. They modified the cockpit to improve visibility and changed the armament package to six, wing-mounted, .50 caliber machine guns. The P-40E Kittyhawk was the first model with this gun package and it entered service in time to serve in the AVG. The last model produced in quantity was the P-40N, the lightest P-40 built in quantity, and much faster than previous models. Curtiss built a single P-40Q. It was the fastest P-40 to fly (679 kph/422 mph) but it could not match the performance of the P-47 Thunderbolt and the P-51 Mustang so Curtiss ended development of the P-40 series with this model. In addition to the AAF, many Allied nations bought and flew P-40s including England, France, China, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, and Turkey.

Congo Republic Junkers JU-52 Aircraft 100 Francs 1995 Unc Crown Color

$44.99

Congo Republic – Junkers JU-52 Aircraft – 100 Francs – 1995 – Uncirculated Crown – Color – Nicknamed “Tante Ju” (Auntie Ju) and “Iron Annie” by Axis and Allied troops, the Junkers Ju-52 was the most famous German transport of the war. The Ju-52 was built of corrugated metal skin and paid little attention to beauty, features of a typical Junkers design. Parts and pieces stuck out of the airframe, and the corrugated skin, though much stronger than fabric and metal tubes, created stronger air resistance. In April 1931, the originally single-engine Ju-52 prototype was fitted with three engines. Performance improved tremendously and production of the new model immediately began. The Ju-52 served as an airliner for many nations. Finland, Spain, Sweden and Germany were just a few. It served as a mail carrier in China, and, fitted with floats, hauled lumber in remote places in Canada. Its most common work, however, was done with the German Lufthansa. Equipped with luxuries like a typewriter and oxygen masks, the Ju-52 could fly from Berlin to Rome in eight hours over the Alps, an impressive feat for contemporary aircraft, let alone an airliner. The military potential of the Ju-52 was not overlooked by the Luftwaffe. It entered service as a troop transport and bomber. In the Spanish Civil War, the Ju-52 ferried some 10’000 Moorish troops from Morocco to Spain, and bombed Madrid while, quite embarrassingly, some Lufthansa Ju-52s were in the airport serving as airliners. Later in World War II, the Ju-52 served in every theater in which Germany participated. It dropped paratroopers in the Netherlands, Crete and later the Ardennes. It carried supplies to beleaguered troops in North Africa, Stalingrad and the Baltic states. The Ju-52 was slow and very lightly armed against fighters. As a result, it suffered horrible losses in almost all actions, especially over Crete, the Mediterranean and Stalingrad. Many types of replacement were built, but none was as popular or reliable as good old Auntie Ju. Right until the end of the war the Ju-52 was still soldiering on to help stave off defeat. The last Ju-52s went out of service with the Swiss Air Force in the late 1980s

Congo Republic BAC-111 Aircraft 1000 Francs 2004 Proof Silver Crown Color

$49.99

Congo Republic – BAC-111 Aircraft – 1000 Francs – 2004 – Proof Silver Crown – Color – The British Aircraft Corporation One-Eleven, also known as the BAC-111, was a British short-range jet airliner of the 1960s and 1970s. Conceived by Hunting Aircraft, it was developed and produced by the British Aircraft Corporation when Hunting merged into BAC along with other British aircraft makers in 1960. The BAC-111 was designed to replace the Vickers Viscount. It was the second short-haul jet airliner to enter service. Due to its later service entry, the BAC-111 took advantage of more efficient engines and airline experience of jets. This made it popular, with over half of the sales at its launch being in the largest and most lucrative market, the United States. It was one of the most successful British airliner designs, and served until its widespread retirement in the 1990s due to noise restrictions.
