Papua New Guinea 10 Kina Coin

in #coins8 months ago (edited)

I found this coin in a pawn shop. It's not worth much of anything, so I was able get it thrown in together with some other things I was buying for free. I think it's a pretty neat looking coin. It's got some good toning and it's almost 50 years old.

Sadly, it is not silver, though they did make a version that is a sterling silver proof. It's a pretty large coin. The last pic has a quarter for size comparison.

You can find more info about it here. Pics are mine.

It's still a fine coin, coins with Birds is my collecting theme.

Wow that coin is actually pretty cool and it would make a great addition to my collection, here in Mexico I have never seen a coin from that country and I have some friends who collect coins as well. Great find!

By the way, it's been a while since you published anything on Hive, I hope things are good on your end and you come back mate!
