Egypt 5 pounds commemorative 1985 silver proof

This is very far afield from what I usually collect! But it was pretty enough I picked it up
anyway. According to Krause they minted 2000 proofs and 6000 regular strikes. I
don't really collect proofs or non-circulating coinage, so I'll probably give it as a gift.

Give it (gift it) to me........

 

What did you pay for that coin ? Those are getting harder and harder to find. You used to be able to get these at $50 and now $75-100.

 

Pretty thing...

 

$35. Sounds like I did all right. My local coin shop often has pretty good prices on
obscure foreign stuff. Thanks for the price info.

 

You did really good. That coin on Ebay $100 all year.

 

Love that design, especially with the frosted surfaces and mirrors.

 

Nice design.

 

I think this coin is part of a set called " treasures something something". I have 2 King Tutankhamen coins...



and



My goal way down the road is to get either the small gold King Tut coin or the large King Tut coin. King Tut on the gold coin looks so amazing.
