    I am looking for the most beautifully minted coin of 1978 from any country.

    Gold or silver.

    Any suggestions. I have had a look and find very little more than a gold krugerrand which although the gold is beautiful I am looking for something with some artistic merit.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    It is for my wife. Birth year gift. HK $1000 coin looks nice. Jaguar is very nice too. Thanks for the ideas.

    Budget is not really an issue although I don’t want to paying mostly for just a collectible.

    Interesting thread. It caught my eye as 78 is the birth year of my wife also, but she's more of the diamond type of gal.
