    Tonga. Not my coin, but one of these 1962 gold pieces from Tonga is on my "someday" want list, for personal reasons.

    [​IMG]

    You see, I knew the designer of these coins, British artist Dudley Moore Blakely (1902-1982). He was a friend of my family and he and his wife Judy are buried here on St. Simons Island, Georgia, next to my grandmother, who was also an artist.

    [​IMG]

    When I was a kid, Mr. Blakely taught me wood carving and in his workshop full of souvenirs of their South Pacific sojourn, he had the original models for the dies of Tonga's first coinage. What's more, he once showed me a case containing the very first strikes of Tonga's first gold coins! I have no idea what became of that set, and fear that whoever owns it now has no idea what they have.

    He was quite an interesting character, and used to drive around the island in his beautiful one-owner 1956 Thunderbird, which was robin's-egg blue. I'm not sure what impressed the teenaged me more: the coins, or the car.

    For these sentimental reasons, I would love to own at least one 1962 Tongan coin designed by Dudley Blakely. And I will, someday.
