<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 140477, member: 4626"]Hate having to pick one, lol... but if I had to it would be the 2000 silver 1 pound proof coin I bought on eBay about a year ago. Just love the Welsh dragon on the reverse. Have a few coins tied as close seconds... 2006-W proof silver eagle I recently got for my birthday, can literally see myself in the coins reflection... 2005-W 1/10 oz proof gold eagle I got for Christmas, beautiful coin... 1958 Mexican 1 peso I recently inherited from my grandmother, love the old fashioned look to it, almost a throwback to colonial coinage. The Japanese Shouwa 32 (1957) 100 yen piece I have is probably a close 3rd... love the bird on the front... why Japan moved to the generic designs after that I'll never understand.</p><p><br /></p><p>Honorable mention are just about any decent bi-metallic coin in my collection... I love these things... I'm especially fond of the 10 peso coin Mexico has been putting out since they renumerated their currency in 1992. The Aztec calender looks great on the two different metals. Wish the US would mint more bimetallic coins, lol... so far the only one they've minted was the 2000 Library of Congress commemorative (which is second on my wish list, right after a St. Gauden's double eagle!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Were I to mention paper money too, my favorite notes would easily be the 1 and 2 Ngultrum notes I have from Bhutan. Seem more like artwork than money, lol... the designs on them are absolutely beautiful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
