dollarcoins Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 01/15/2010 3:38 pm Recently I saw many people ("darksiders") have fun collecting world circulating coins and silver bullion coins (Britannia and Kookaburra). Thus, I was thinking to start a new project for collecting world crown sized (bullion/commemorative/circulating) coins - one coin from each country. I have been searching the information about popular world silver coins and came out with the below list. Could you please help me to expand the list? Also, if you know a good way (except ebay) to acquire these coins, please let me know? Thank you in advance. A list of world crown sized bullion (first priority)/commemorative (second priority)/circulating (third priority) coins - one coin from each country: Afghan 5 Rupee (added by snowman) American Silver Eagle Australian Kookaburra Austrian Maria Theresa Thaler (added by Turtleoverhead) Bermuda (2002) EIIR (added by nohope587) Canadian Maple Leaf Chile Por La Razon O La Fuerza (added by Metalman) Chinese Panda Finland 10 Markkaa (added by thq) (?) France Piece de 15 euro (added by SeriousCERES), ECUS (added by thq), Union Force Hercules (added by thq) Germany Thaler (added by xshift) Great Britain Britannia Italian Eritrea Tallero (added by xshift) Mexican Libertad New Zealand Lord of Rings (added by Metalman) Peruvian Sol (added by snowman) Russian George the Victorious (added by oih82w8) Somalian Monkey (added by oih82w8) Spanish 8 Reale (added by snowman) Switzerland Alpine Ibex crown-sized coin (added by SeriousCERES) Zambian Elephant (added by oih82w8) Thank you for the persons who recommended the coins to me. Still confusing about my intention? I am just trying to come out a list of large-sized silver coins for each country. Thus, I can use the list to guide my collection. I hope that I can acquire at least 60 purdy large sized coins from 60 countries. Edited by dollarcoins 01/16/2010 4:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 01/15/2010 4:00 pm Not sure of the accuracy of this listing; The most common world silver bullion coins, preceded by minimum guaranteed purity, and the year of introduction: 99.99% 1988 Canadian Silver Maple Leaf 99.90% 1982 Mexican Silver Libertad 99.90% 1983 Chinese Silver Panda 99.90% 1986 American Silver Eagle 99.90% 1990 Australian Silver Kookaburra (minted by the Perth Mint) 99.90% 1993 Australian Silver Kangaroo (minted by the Royal Australian Mint) 95.80% 1997 British Silver Britannia (from 1997, proof version only. Public issue from 1998) 99.90% 2008 Austrian Silver Vienna Philharmonic 99.90% 2009 Russian George the Victorious http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_coin I also have seen listings for; Somalia Monkey Zambia Elephant http://www.24carat.co.uk/frame.php?...oncoins.html Edited by oih82w8 01/15/2010 4:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 01/15/2010 4:20 pm If you are wanting just bullion then it's going to be a small collection if you wanted OFEC. It'd be a much more rewarding collection and experience to go for silver coins in general. Report this Post to the Staff
SeriousCERES Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 01/15/2010 4:36 pm For a couple areas that I collect passionately, I can recommend some bullion choices that you might like for your project. France issues 15 euro proof commemorative pieces that are silver with a 'modernized' version of the classic Sower figure from the 3rd and 5th Republic francs. Here's an example of one from ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com.my/France-piece...nt_W0QQitemZ 160389954132QQcmdZViewItemQQptZFR_GW_monnaie_pi%C3%A8ceseuro?hash=item2557fc7a54 Switzerland has annual mint sets in which there's always an attractive crown-sized coin, often a beautiful representation of some Alpine animal, like eagles and ibexes. These might be cupro-nickel, but I'm not entirely sure; they'd certainly look nice in your collection. Best of luck, SCS Report this Post to the Staff
dollarcoins Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 01/15/2010 4:37 pm Thank you for your opinion, GraceOutcast. I thought most of the mints around the world produce 1 oz silver bullion coins. It seems it's not the fact. I will expand my world coins project to include silver bullion and large-sized numismatic coins. Report this Post to the Staff
nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 01/15/2010 5:35 pm Don't do it! Stop now before you get sucked in... Otherwise you will be broke and still never have all the crown sized silver coins. But they sure is purdy... Report this Post to the Staff

dollarcoins Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 01/15/2010 5:45 pm Thanks, nohope587. I just took a quick look of your website. It's very impressive. It seems that I can pull out some coins from your list. Report this Post to the Staff
xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 01/15/2010 6:14 pm If you're going to have an Austria thaler, you gotta add (at least) one from Germany And don't forget the Eritrea Tallero.. although I don't know if that would actually qualify as Italy. Edit: Looks like it would be Italy.. there's a very good post from Sap on the history of it here: https://goccf.com/t/3730&whichpage=2#26983 Edited by xshift 01/15/2010 6:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
