Not modern but I just added this my collection:

Peru, Charles III, 1759-1788, 1782 LM-MI, 8 Escudos, AU/UNC, Lima mint, KM82.1, Fr-32. 

Composition: Gold (.901)
Weight: 27.0674 g
Diameter: 36 mm

The bonus for me is that it included an old Mehl envelope. How about that price!!!

Sure it's modern, in the sense of "modern" vs. ancient or medieval: "modern" is anything after about 1500, as far as I'm concerned!

This is the first modern (or ancient) gold coin that I've bought since I purchased a Charles III half-sovereign in 2023. But I decided that I finally wanted to complete one of the smallest "type sets" possible: one gold coin issued by each of the three Kaisers of the unified German Empire that existed from 1871-1918. I already had the final two, and saw an example I liked of the first -- without too many of the scratches one often sees on modern gold coins! 

German Empire, Preußen. Wilhelm I, AV 10 marks 1872A (Berlin Mint) (First issue). Obv. Bare head of Wilhelm I right, WILHELM DEUTSCHER KAISER KÖNIG V. PREUSSEN; Mintmark A below / Rev. Crowned Imperial Eagle, head left, DEUTSCHES – REICH around; mark of value 10 – M. below eagle’s claws; beneath, date 18 – 72. 19.5 mm., 3.98 g. KM 502 p. 954 [N. Douglas Nicol, Standard Catalog of German Coins 1501-Present (Krause Pub., 3^rd ed. 2011)]; Jaeger 242 [Kurt Jaeger, Die deutschen Münzen seit 1871 (28^th ed., Regenstauf 2024)]. Purchased on MA-Shops from Münzzentrum-Dürr, Niederwürschnitz, Saxony, 12 Nov 2024.

Does anyone know what that small sprig at the end of the reverse legend is supposed to be, or what it signifies?

Here are my 10 mark coins of the three emperors, together. I think their different styles of facial hair fit rather well with what was popular in the early 1870s, late 1880s, and 1890s-early 1910s, respectively!

@Croatian Coin Collector I'm glad to see people posting in this thread for the first time in two years, and you have a lot of wonderful gold, but did you look at the thread title? I specifically intended this thread for MODERN, non-British gold coins. Not ancient and/or British ones like five of the eight you just posted!  I'm sure there are other threads where they might fit better.

Also, if anyone has an answer to my question about the coin I posted, I'd appreciate your letting me know.

Okay, I saw gold coins over 500 years old on the previous pages, so I thought that the modern coin in the title was only about your (then) latest Gold coin purchase, while the thread was for Gold coins in general, I will only post non-British Gold coins from the last 200 years from now on in this thread.

Thanks. I probably wasn't paying enough attention to the thread until just now. But ancient gold really belongs in the Ancients forum, not the World forum, anyway. It's easier to find it that way. If we're going to be sticklers!
