"Hate to tell you this - but that is not the worlds most expensive coin.

Back in 1989 a coin went up for auction - a gold 1000 mohur struck in India. The coin is unique - one of a kind and it weighs - if memory serves - approx 12 kilos

During the bidding - the high bid reached $10 million. But the coin did not sell - the bid was not high enough for the owner" GDJMSP.

Thanks GDJMSP. I hope you don't mind that I quoted you but I felt that gleam of information on the coin from India that you mentioned should be posted
again. Going to look up that coin myself now for some fun .
