Most beautifully minted coin of 1978 - any country

[openeyes]

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.

Hmmm. The Franklin Mint was pretty active around that time. Might be worth a Google.

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.
