What would your ideal coin be?

Hi,
If you could have any coin for your collection,
what would it be?
Thanks

I would love a Kew gardens 50p but I'd have to say a Victorian jubilee sovereign.
P.S. My uncle has one and it is beautiful.
You can't beat a piece of history.

I would like a gold coin someday, a St Gaudens would be great.

Personally I wouldn't say no to a silver kilo coin (Perth) or a gold kangaroo or French angel.

A "Mouton d'or" (golden lamb) of Arnold VI de Rumigny
I like the history of the Lordship of Rummen (Rumigny), this guy was a badass and this coin is particulary scarce !

I'd love anything US from 1793. Also an Athens tetradrachm with the owl on it, such an iconic coin from ancient times.

A Liechtenstein Thaler I would love with ornamented arms of Liechtenstein.

Hong Kong 1941 1 Cent

My ideal coin is a coin i like for its size, design and/or historical meaning.

I'd like to grab one day a lion d'argent (silver lion) from the United States of Belgium (Belgian revolution against Austria that lasted one year), or at least a florin. Nice size, beautiful design and great historical meaning.

Also I'd like to grab a a nice denarius of Augustus.

Or a ten kronur 1930 from iceland.

Platinum Krugerrrand 2017

But i dont see myself paying that premium

Thing is, my ideal coin doesn't exist.

I'd want a commemorative European coin from the 1920s or 1930s; but most countries didn't issue them; I have done my utmost to collect those who did (Austrian 2 Schillings series 1928-37, Czechoslovak commemoratives 1928/1937, Hungarian, Polish, German commemoratives, etc) but the one that exists and is closest would be the 1928 Italian 20 Lire comemorating the end of WWI.

Since France never issued any commemorative coins between the world wars (mostly owing to shortage of metal for minting circulating coins in the early 1920s), I take the liberty of posting a little something I designed when I was bored in class last year:


Some specs; this would be a 20g, 35mm diameter .680 silver coin in the same specifications as the Turin 20 Francs issued 1929-39. It commemorates the 10th anniversary of the Armistice that ended the Great War, and would have been issued in 1928. The torch privy mark is on the obverse, which depicts Marianne holding an olive branch between two stalks of wheat above date in exergue; 'Liberté Égalité Fraternité' surrounds the motif.
Reverse is the Republican monogram 'RF' for 'Republique Française' around a fasces (used by France since 1912, before Mussolini) with the denomination and 'Xe Anniversaire de l'Armistice XI. XI. 1918 1928' (10th Anniversary of the Armistice 11. 11. 1918/1928).

I guess I'd like to see bullion coins made of Iridium, or perhaps Rhenium (as long as the radioactivity is not problematic). Preferably, these would be US Mint issues.

While I'm waiting for those, maybe I'll get one of the 2018 Palladium coins in the fall, depending on the price.

Wait for the dip. I think its starting to correct now.. At the moment Pd is on an all time high.

UNC or Proof 1909S VDB Lincoln Cent.
Or any condition, actually

Mine would be a UK 5 Guinea coin, as it is the only coin with any face value that I do not own.
I have at least one coin from 1/4 farthing - 2 Guineas. I even have a space reserved for it, but do not have the thousands of pounds to buy it.

It would be great if we could design and issue/create our own​ coin!

Wise move.​
