I recently changed what I collect to focus on world silver crowns. I was really drawn to the large coins with beautiful designs where many can be purchased fairly inexpensively. I try to purchase certified coins in grades of Au58 or above. So follow me on my quest to assemble the greatest collection of Silver Crowns in the world.
Comments: The obverse of this coin features three pomegranates. The word Israel is written in Hebrew and Arabic. The origin of the obverse design is modeled after an ancient coin minted during the war of the Jews against Rome (66-70 AD). The reverse features the denomination "500 Pruta" and the date in Hebrew with stylized olive branches around the rim.
Comments: Subject of this coin is Basarabia Reunion. Obverse features Maihai II. Reverse features St Stephen on bended knee presenting Putna Monastery to the Lord. I see these coins up for sale pretty frequently and they are usually very baggy, this example isn't too bad in hand although it only graded MS61.
Comments: Features a rendition of the controversial Maja Desnuda painting by the Spanish Painter Francisco de Goya. I am not sure exactly what Goya's connection to Equatorial Guinea is except maybe that it was a former Spanish Colony. If you have any additional info regarding this coin please leave a comment.
