    Won this recently as the poltina that I had in my collection didn't look too great.

    This was what I had.

    As you can tell, the side with Paul I's monogram was engraved to show more details.

    And this is the one that I recently won.

    Nice lamination but the obverse text is pretty much worn out.

    To be honest, I'm quite torn - you have two coins with one good side. It's still a rather uncommon coin that pops up once in a while. I guess you can't always win them all.

    C'est la vie. :)

    1979 I was stationed in Berlin I tried to buy Au one just like this.but had no problem it was $75.00 US . Some how I forgot pay day and by the time a new pay day came around I was shipping out to Peru .
    Getting paid one time a month was not fun but did teach ya a lot about money.:)
    Not collecting had to be plans .
    Nice coins G :)
