Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2889 Posts	Posted 03/29/2009 03:05 am This coin, I think, is up there in the list of most beautiful coins ever minted. Unfortunately it is prohibitively expensive and I can't afford one (well, not without selling the children anyway ) However I did manage to pick up this Somalia 25 Shillings for only £1 which really does make a good substitute I'd still like a real one though!

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2889 Posts	Posted 03/31/2009 07:15 am YEs - the toning is stunning on that one. The Somali crown is only Cu-Ni but the obverse is pretty similar and does look quite well in hand My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html Report this Post to the Staff
