Found it in my Dads strong box along with coins from 70's and early 80's. Couldn't find anything about it online and would like to know more about it, when it was minted, where it was minted, value, etc.   Edited by Sneds

 This is a "silver round"; a bullion coin probably manufactured by a private company. These exist with thousands of generic designs. It is only worth one ounce of silver. Edited by Classic Coins

Unfortunately there is no general register of what company made what round. Also, the company may well have ceased business by now.

And a warning: companies that don't put their name on the line by actually putting it on their rounds and ingots, have zero accountability to the secondary market. In other words, you've got zero guarantee that it is genuine .999 fine silver, and is genuinely 1 troy ounce. The weight you can test with a cheap $10 electronic scale, but the fineness you need a little more sophisticated gear. People who like big cats might be prepared to pay a premium for it. People who like puns and other plays-on-words might like it, too: a colloquial name for the central Asian snow leopard is "ounce", and the cat pictured on the round is clearly a snow leopard, with the distinctive long fluffy tail, so this round is an ounce with an ounce on it. Very witty. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
