Seeing how you didn't ask "ciculating", this is an image af Andora's 2011 15 dinars, being adv. as a 2012. It's part of the "RENAISSANCE MADONNA" series. It's 40X60mm, 50g, .999 w/a 3Kmntg.

 

Saw this coin selling for 1100 in ebay. Liberia 2005 10 dollars did i miss something?

 

Wow. The "3D" look is incredible on that Liberia 2005. Love it!

 

There old South Africa "ZAR" coins are also some of the most desirable. Images from Heritage.

 

Nice ones!

 

the most beautiful silver coins has switzerland, the old 5 franc commemorative coins:

As far as Silver and Gold coins I'd say the States followed by Mexico and maybe Belarus 3rd. Belarus has had some great designs recently. Maybe China third I like some of the past lunar Chinese dragon coins.

 

USA OF COURSE! morgan silver dollar IS MY FAVORITE AT ALL!

 

Suuuure. (pat, pat) :devil:

I really like the walking liberty design, but the Mexican Onza is great.

 

Strong American bias (as ever) around here!

My favourite coin is British of course:



Or maybe:

 

I Wish numismatics could be "balkanized"



Albania Hands down

 

I think the only people who believe the USA has the most beautiful silver coins are those who have never collected world silver coins. There are a scant few beautiful USA silver coin designs, but in the scheme of world coins, the USA would rank far behind many many nations in my opinion. AND, for the record, I'm a USA citizen.

PS, absolutely love that Gothic Victoria!

 

U.S.A. is my vote! I absolutely LOVE U.S. older silver coinage.

 

The renaissance talers from Europe. Hands down.



Now THOSE are beautiful coins. Art. No side profile of some queen, a silly leaf from a tree, a single boring animal or a woman walking will ever match this.
