<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sonlarson, post: 2314090, member: 15488&quot;]On 9/16/1975 Papua New Guinea achieved full independence. From 1975-1985 coinage was produced at the Franklin Mint. 100 Toea = 1 Kina. At the time 1 Kina = $1.35 USD.</p><p>The 10 Kinas featuring the Bird of paradise, is 45mm and contains 1.237 oz. of Silver. This coin alone is worth what I paid for the entire set. The 5 Kinas with a New Guinea Eagle, is also Silver and has .4436 oz. Silver.</p><p>Shown on the 1 Kina are the River and Sea Crocodiles. They look the same to me.</p><p>The 20 Toeas has a Bennett&#039;s Cassowary Bird, the 10, a Spotted Cuscus, 5, a Plateless turtle, 2, a Butterfly Cod, and the 1 Toea features a Paradise Bird-Wing Butterfly. All in all a beautiful set of coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>1975 Papua New Guinea Proof Set Mintage 42,340</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]466726[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]466727[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
