Best looking gold coin?

[Wellsy]

Thinking of using a gold coin as a pendant and was just wondering what everyone's thought are on what is the best looking gold coin?
I'm a huge Swan fan but probably wouldn't wear it.
The Redback Spider gold coin is a great looking coin but would be great to hear everyone's opinions and see pictures of what they think?
Could even be a bar?
Thanks

I'd use a huge clock like Flavor Flav, then you can always be telling da bitches what time it is.

Yeah was trying to find a 1/4oz coin or 10 gram bar.
Not rapper style peeps.

This is my my 3 gram around 1/10 oz Perth Mint 9999 dog medal I got about 10-15 years ago, but never worn

The only coin for that purpose would be a sovereign imo.
That said, flaunting gold coins around town these days is probably just asking for trouble.

Reminds me of a dog tag. I can’t stand wearing anything, not even a watch. Had to wear watches before mobile phones.

I've been wearing an analog watch since I can remember, feel absolutely naked without one. My last watch lasted 17 years and 2 full services to keep it going before I had to replace it. On the second service, he told me to just replace it when it dies as it wasn't viable to repair anymore which I ended up doing a few years ago

My vote is the full sov...

Best looking gold coin in the known universe.

I still don't own one, but its on the top of my gold coin list.

But as a pendant id love to wear a gold tael

 

[mmm....shiney!]

I still don't own one

You’re not a real stacker until you own at least one.

I want to be a real sucker badly !
I keep missing out on the deals, I'm considering visiting a coin dealer to maximise my suckerness.

Edit: Whoops ... I read sucker not stacker
I want to be a real stacker too

How much does it cost for a christian burial? That's how much gold you should be wearing in case you get shipwrecked, drown at sea and get washed up on shore. Other than that I can't think of a good reason to wear gold.

I'm pretty sure the person that discovers your bloated corpse will not be using the gold that you're wearing to arrange a funeral for you

Gipsies and drifters often wear gold as a way of keeping their wealth close at hand, they can travel almost cashless, they'll trade or sell if required.

It can be a way to transfer wealth across borders without the need for declaration.

It can also be a last resort means of getting you out of trouble if your stuck for cash far from home for one reason or another.
Basically a store of wealth that you will almost completely forget about until you absolutely have no other choice.

Besides that it just looks good.

Best looking is tough, so many great coins out there. But one of my personal favourites is for sure the German East Africa 15 Rupien from 1916. Not a bullion coin, but beautiful and interesting history too.
