svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 06/03/2010 3:46 pm Some people look for silver crowns (I'm using this term for large coins here), collectors on a budget are happy with Cu-Ni coins. Here's an example that an aluminum crown could be just as attractive (sorry, the picture doesn't do it justice, I photographed it through not so clean plastic of 2x2). Measured at 36 mm it features Admiral Horthy, the regent of the kingdom formed shortly after break up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This coin was issued to commemorate the admiral's 75th Birthday and came one year before he was austed on the brink of the Axis losing the WWII. Report this Post to the Staff

swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 06/03/2010 5:52 pm That is a nice looking coin. Someplace, I have a silver 1939 5 Pengo. I do like the Hungarian issues of the pre-WWII era. They were well made coins - not like the more recent poorly made coins issued by so many countries. Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 06/03/2010 7:27 pm Some coins are (or used to be) a piece of Art. Now with so many unstable economies and political systems quality doesn't get much of priority. About the silver pengo, - haha, mine was much more affordable! No, seriously, nice coin! Imagine owning a 1938 five pengo, with only 60 pieces minted. Report this Post to the Staff
