[QUOTE="sonlarson, post: 2148629, member: 15488"]This is what I like, we all get to learn. I checked out the Turkish Gold Bullion and found that they were issued starting 1942 in the 25-500 Kurus. However, they were in unusual weights. 50 Kurus = 0.1034, 100= 0.2036, 500= 1.0342. Not really useful as a fixed investment amount. No reference found on Chile's Gold as Bullion. The 1926 100 Gold Peso appears to be a circulation type coin in 0.5885 AGW. Austria's Maria Theresa Thaler is classified as a Trade Dollar which was used for commercial trading and for a circulating coinage in countries unable to mint their own. Trade Dollars are a whole other subject which has been explored many time on this forum and deserves a separate thread. I still haven't been able to locate any [B]Silver[/B] coinage classified as [B]bullion[/B] prior to the 1949 Mexico Libertad. Still searching. So far, the Krugerrand is leading as the first [B]Gold Bullion[/B] coin. Keep it coming.[/QUOTE]
