Does make you wish you had the money doesn't It?

That one sold for �900, and the cheapest Ive seen them anywhere else is �1500.

I was gonna say ... no way do you own that coin. What a beauty. I'd give my right testicle to have that one.

Several years ago, when I was seriously collecting world crowns of the 1800's, that was the holy grail of all coins as far as I was concerned. Unfortunately, I had to be satisfied with pictures and an empty feeling. Oh well....

Thank for sharing the photo!

Someone could make a real killing if they went into the business of producing good quality replicas of this coin.

Put me down for the first one! lol

That is very nice. When I get bored of US/Canada stuff, I dabble with world coins on occasion. There is just about an endless variety of interesting stuff out there, and these can all be found on the cheap in junk bins....

It's pre 1920 so it's .925 fine silver and contains .8409 troy ounce of pure silver.

Wow, that's a beautiful piece!

The obverse has great composition, specifically the spacing between the lettering and Victoria's crown. Nice geometry.

Makes American currency of the period look downright rustic. :smile:
