seriously, having a small pile of these coins could make you feel rich. even though its base metal I can't help but think how inflation impacts such non-precious coins too.

Nice! A good example of being able to determine when it was minted, regardless of the date (or lack thereof).

Per the rules...

It is also acceptable if the date can be determined to the exact year from other criteria...

In the style of the 1975 Singapore coin, let's go on with city states.
In 1974 Monaco issued a 50 Francs coin for the 25th anniversary of the reign of Prince Rainier. (Monaco, barely over 2 km², is the second smallest state, after the Vatican)

The reverse shows the monogram of Prince Rainier in fourfold and "Deo Iuvante" - With the help of the Lord.

"Cinquante Francs" is in written in full.

Obviously, not my coin...

I posted it to add a little shameless promotion of the Coin Community US Coin Facts pages!

Hate to break the Ike Tour, but this is the only 1973 coin I have pictures of right now.

I'm starting to appreciate the Eisenhower dollar, these images are making me want to dust off the album and get the 73 and 74 silvers I am missing.
