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
