Message:: [QUOTE="iPen, post: 2550679, member: 69760"]I've been trying to find the specific KM # and spec info (e.g. purity) on this proof strike coin that I recently acquired. It's a silver coin that measures 22mm, which is a Sovereign size. I checked Krause's Unusual World Coins 6th Edition catalog, and all I find is the gold issue (X #M6; 2nd image below). I do see that there's a Duke and Duchess of Windsor version in silver (X #M16a; 2nd image below), but that's obviously not the same coin though I used the weight info to confirm that it's a silver coin (4.4g for Duke/Duchess coin vs. 4.46g for my coin). It's also the same design type as the much larger silver crown version (X #M5b; last image below). So I believe this may be a 1984 Richard Lobel series coin, with a purity of 0.9167 and perhaps even the same mintage of 500. The catalog number may be of similar format as the aforementioned coins (e.g. X #M6a if only gold and silver coins were struck, X #M6b if four different metals were used, etc.). Does anyone have further info on this coin, or can confirm my thoughts in the previous paragraph? Maybe it shows up on a later catalog edition, or somewhere else altogether. Thanks in advance!
