Wow! That's fast. I had one more question, so as to cover all continents.On what occasion was this commemorative issued (obvious clue removed)
In the fifth year of the French revolution Louis XVI was already dead.
Krause has this commemorating two themes - but I'll wait for Martin before deciding if Krause it right or not
It does indeed commemorate two separate and unrelated themes. I even remember the release of this coin making the TV news back in 1978, one of the few occasions when anything numismatic has hit the headlines, and for totally non-controversial but just "general interest" reasons.
A great quiz , looking forward to the next one squarecoinman
A coin celebrating two unrelated themes - I think that's still pretty unusual - there probably will be others now (something from the Marshall Islands I've no doubt) but I can't think of another off the top of my head.
