    The Story of a rare coin.
    This coin is a 1976-FM (U, known for being Special uncirculated with DPL) version. Franklin mint in the past made all kinds of coins for smaller nations that didn't have the resources to have their own mints.
    1976-FM (U) Mintage:
    759.
    You read that right, there were only 759 made of this version.
    Over 46 years the number of these coins still around shrunk. Assuming a conservative estimate of 10% attrition (put into circulation, lost, mistaken as proofs) you're left with 500 (the real number has to be far lower). This coin was already rare the day it was minted, time has
    whittled
    down this already endangered coin population.
    The value placed on this coin reflects it's
    rarity
    and
    quality
    which is close to perfection. This version of the coin is one of the rarest in the world. And the extra bit of serendipity? It's beautifully toned. Simply amazing.
