While writing my silver wishlist coin posts, I've noticed a rather shocking truth.
There are almost no male kings on the coins.
The Masochist are outraged!!!
Now after a few digging about I discovered that the reason why almost all the royalty printed on the coins are Queen Elizabeth this and Queen Elizabeth that is because of her long reign.
Her living through the decimalization of previously used coins and staying through the minting and reminting of new ones meant that we got to see her face again and again and again.
Well I say
I for one is tired of looking at her and need a new face on a coin.
So hear I say
This coin is THE KING (999.9) 50 GM SILVER OVAL COIN and it's a lovely piece with a handsome manly portrait on there.
This is a collectible silver coin made by MMTC-PAMP, which is an Indian coin minting company.
After lots of search I couldn't come up with a name of the dashingly handsome man on the front of the coin so I'm forced to believe it's just a fictional doodle on this coin.
Metal: Silver

This coin is a simple showpiece that is part of the MMTC-PAMP "Vivaah" collection which it's main use is to be a gift in occasions like weddings or birthdays.

Plenty cheap considering the staggering prices of the other coins on my wishlist 😀
