<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 202211, member: 4373&quot;]I agree with Doug. I don&#039;t really think that South Africa is the pioneer of making bullion coins. In fact, I believe the Dutch ducat was minted ever since 1600s - DO check out Doug&#039;s collection. It&#039;s a shocker! </p><p><br /></p><p>Doug if you don&#039;t mind: <a href="http://www.omnicoin.com/user_view.aspx?id=GDJMSP" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.omnicoin.com/user_view.aspx?id=GDJMSP" rel="nofollow">http://www.omnicoin.com/user_view.aspx?id=GDJMSP</a></p><p><br /></p><p>There are other countries in Europe that started this bullion coin trend. I only collect Russian coins so that is what I only know. In the early 1700s, Peter I realized the need to reform Russia and started a bullion coin program, which we now know as the Chervonets. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chervonets" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chervonets" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chervonets</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure the other European countries at that time have come up of some kind of bullion coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
