I bought the silver when they came out and left the gold for you!!! Mighty nice ; I appreciate that  I never bought a coin when issued . They all look so expensive at issue and mostly can be had at better terms a few years later . |

I am winding up my program since nobody knows what next year will bring and I want to have what I want to have by 31 st dec This is the socalled parity coin giving the exchange rate between the euro and the original participating countries It was planned to have a maximum issue of 2000 but at the time there was a severe lack of intrest at the requested price from the mint The coin was struck at 714 pcs It is a one ounce and somewhat expensive to find since goldprice has trippled and nostalgia is starting to settle in  |

Yellow and white gold Wiki and others keep saying the Génie is a neutral spectral figure but in 1988 the French showed a different Génie for one year The next year they put a general or some such on the coins and I guess that was the end of the serie So I got a complete serie in two coins I think  |

A lovely and fascinating medallic issue struck on 50 Pesos blanks in 1957 from Mexico:  Bought at melt. Fascinating because these were only struck in small numbers and only in 1957, and are a lot scarcer than the regular 50 Pesos coins. |

I like this one better than the regular 50P coin, just a lovely uncluttered design on the front with the hot señorita on the front and the busy full design on the reverse.
