Bluesfil Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 This is the first coin I ever bought - it is only EF but it is a beautiful gun metal blue/grey and is a superb strike. It is rare to get the 4th step on the Parliament House steps. It is one of Australia's most beautiful coins ever produced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marianne Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Â Â Westfriesland 1596 rijksdaalder. It's my favorite coin to hold (a pocketful of these would just about immobilize you) and I also love the design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 I had a 1580 one of those but someone stole it about 6 years ago. I loved that coin, and the person who gave it to me passed away a month after he did, and now some thief has it, and who knows where it might be! It makes me sad thinking about it.
