Trying to identify a single issue from the year 1979 that is desirable. I'm stumped, can't come up with even one coin that inspires. Help me out...,,..
Well, Switzerland for example issued these two coins commemorating Albert Einstein in 1979. I like the two ... http://www.numis.ch/images/1979-fuenf-franken-einstein-kopf_450.jpg http://www.numis.ch/images/5-franken-1979-einstein-formel_450.jpg Christian
Not going to guarantee that you'll like these, but I enjoy them... Guyana - 1979 Proof $5 Lesotho - 1979 Proof 15 Maloti Netherlands Antilles - 1979 25 Gulden Panama - 1979 20 Balboas Singapore - 1979 10 Dollars Somalia - 1979 10 Shillings I think you might also like the New Zealand Dollar...great fern on the reverse. (Don't have one imaged right now, sorry.)
I think this is a pretty interesting inexpensive 1979 dated coin: San Marino 1979 200 Lire Mintage of 675,000
@stldanceartist you reminded me of a 1979 San Marino coin I recently saw on ebay: photo credit: schnapper_karl via eBay
