Thanks, everyone. It's getting complicated than I originally thought.  (This was for-seen by nohope587.) However, it means that I have something to accomplish in the coming days (or years). Originally I thought each silver crown sized bullion/numismatic coin will cost me around $50. If I have identified 60 countries, I will need to spend $3,000. This will be a great project for me to accomplish in the coming years. Edited by dollarcoins

GO, it looks like I missed that one, but thanks for posting the link. I'll have to keep an eye out for another - I really like it!  |

Metalman, cool Peso from Chile!  Is that another digit I see underneath the 9 in the date? |

I have the 2003 One Ring coin as well. I could not resist when I saw it for sale.

Are we talking bullion or circulating coins? I'm confused. Here are some circulating coins:
Afghan 5 Rupee
Peruvian Sol
Spanish 8 Reale

Snowman: Originally I was looking for silver bullion coins only. Based on the responses, I found out that many countries do not issue silver bullion coins. Thus, I expanded my criteria to crown-sized circulating and commemorative coins.  First priority: The first priority for the list is the "purdy" silver bullion coin from each country. (I guess these coins would be cheap.) Second priority: If there is no silver bullion coin from the country, then a crown-sized silver commemorative coin would be good (eg. New Zealand Lord of Rings coin). (I guess these modern silver commemorative coins would be relatively cheap.) Third priority: If there is no silver bullion or commemorative coin, a crown-sized (silver) circulating coin is needed. |

I think you might be mistaken about your 2nd priority coins as being relatively inexpensive. There are several countries which make large silver commemorative coins Not Intended For Circulation. Some of these are countries you've never heard of. The mark-up over silver value is huge.

A couple of mine were in excess of $100 and some are so rare that adding them to your collection is going to take serious money. |
