Is there a world coin that is worth over $100 face value when the exchange rates are applied? Or is the 1 ounce Platinum Eagle the highest face value coin in the world too?   12-04-2004, 12:12 AM   #2 (permalink) satootoko Retired   Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 5,822 Quote: Originally Posted by NateBe123 Is there a world coin that is worth over $100 face value when the exchange rates are applied? Yup. Austria 1991 Philharmonic 2000 Schilling Gold ¥100,000 Japan, 1986 60th year of Emperor Hirohito's reign, 1990 Enthronement of Emperor Akihito Quote: is the 1 ounce Platinum Eagle the highest face value coin in the world? Not even close! Quoted from http://www.med.unc.edu/~nupam/delhi1.html Quote: Jahangir 1605-1627 AD 1000 Mohur Weight: 12 Kgs (~25 pounds) Gold Only two specimen exist in world The gigantic Mughal coins are of special importance in Indian as well as world numismatics. One thousand tola gold mohur of 12 Kgs minted by Jahangir in 1613, realistically display the wealth that was accumulated by this dynasty. Most of these gold muhars/mohurs had poetic couplets in persian and were the finest samples of craftmanship and metallurgy. __________________ Roy   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
