<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 8273215, member: 22377&quot;]After a brief pause, the ex-Soviet nations set continues with Moldova. I&#039;ve filled some of the &quot;easier&quot; spots, so now it is becoming more of a challenge to find the rest. My original goal was all silver coins and graded. This example is silver but not graded. Silver coins from Moldova are fairly scarce in PCGS and NGC holders; the few out there either didn&#039;t appeal to me or were more that I wanted to spend. At some point I might send it in myself or will just shift the rules to include raw. As for the coin itself, it&#039;s part of Moldova&#039;s &quot;Red Book&quot; series; it features an otter on one side and the coat of arms on the other (common among many coins from Moldova).</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Country</b> Moldova</p><p><b>Denomination</b> 50 Lei</p><p><b>Year</b> 2012</p><p><b>Subject</b> Red Book (of animals)</p><p><b>Composition</b> Silver 0.999</p><p><b>Weight (gr)</b> 16.5</p><p><b>Diameter (mm)</b> 30</p><p><b>Mintage </b>1,000</p><p><b>Mint </b>issued by the National Bank of Moldova (likely made by the State Mint in Romania)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1460398[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1460399[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
