# 430 - Bought on Ebay

Today I will show you two coins that I bought on Ebay. The common things about them are the fact that both weight more than 1oz in silver, both are more than 45 years old, both bear the map of its country and both bear each Coat of Arms.

The first is a 1974 $5 from Liberia. It weights 34.1g (almost 1.1oz) with silver purity of 90% and Proof finish. It was minted from 1973 to 1978, with 20,000 units in 1974.

The reverse shows the map of Liberia and an elephant. The obverse shows the Coat of Arms of Liberia.

The second is a 1972 $10 from Jamaica, commemorating the 10th anniversary of Independence. It weights 49.20g (almost 1.6oz) with silver purity of 92.5% and Proof finish. Its mintage was 33,000 units.

The reverse shows Alexander Bustamante, the First Prime Minister of Jamaica (1962-1967), Norman W. Manley, the First Premier of Jamaica (1959-1962) and the map of Jamaica. The obverse shows the Coat of Arms of Jamaica.

I liked the idea of putting maps on coins. I don't remember ever seeing it before.

If you had read my posts about the State Quarters, you would have find several state maps on these coins.

Only 30000? That's not really a lot.

Both mintages are small. Remember that these are not circulating coins and that they are from the 70s.
