Silver coin from Trinidad and Tobago/ Re-blog lottery!
Years ago I worked with fellow for about a year and we became good friends. He had grown up in Trinidad and Tobago before he immigrated to the US for education reasons. He is a hilarious guy and loves to answer affirmative questions with "yah mon! We still keep in touch but being a smart guy he move to Florida for the weather!
He knew I was a coin guy and he brought me back this coin when he went home to visit his family. I was ecstatic because Trinidad and Tobago were a couple of the islands I never had a chance to visit when I used to live in the Caribbean. This coins was only produced for a few years by The Franklin Mint so they really aren't all that common. It's a really cool coin though, have a look!
About the coin:
Country: Trinidad and Tobago
Mint : The Franklin Mint, Pennsylvania, US
Year: 1975
Mintage: 28,000
Composition: 92.5% silver
Diameter: 42mm
Weight: 35 grams
Edge: Reeded
Obverse: National Arms with the script "TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
TOGETHER WE ASPIRE TOGETHER WE ACHIEVE"
Reverse: A map of the islands with fish, a ship, what looks like Poseidon blowing the winds and denomination all in the waves.
The Franklin mint produced some really cool commemorative coins back in the seventies. This is definitely one of the favorite coins I have been gifted over the years.
I apologize for being absent the last few days, ended up the hospital for "observation." But I'm still alive a kicking, that it the good news! Thanks for all of understanding, I do appreciate it. Thanks to everyone in the Hive community, I have really appreciated your support and friendship. If you have any suggestion, comments, or questions fell free to leave them below and thanks for taking the time to read my post!

And the little ship on the reverse commemorating Christopher Columbus' discovery of the Island and what he thought was a bigger island that turned out to be the South American continent on his third voyage.
Very true, Columbus was an explorer at heart. South America was a very different place back then...
