How Would You Go about Finding....?

How would you go about finding a modern French coin if you had no luck for months on eBay??

I've been looking for a long time for a modern commemorative 100 Franc / 15 ECU dual denomimation commemorative silver crown featuring the Alhambra (in Grenada, Spain) on the reverse. It is KM# 1112 with a catalog value of $35 in Proof.

I would like to obtain this coin because I like the design and think that the Alhambra is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Too bad Spain hasn't gotten around to honoring its own wonder on a coin.

Anyway, if anyone has any ideas -- good French dealers, websites, other strategies -- please share. As always, I appreciate the information offered on this forum....!

Try eBay France: www.ebay.com.fr. Failing that, I can check on a couple of French dealers for you.

It took me a while to find the French "Champollion" commemorative. The month I found it I found three more.

Newsman, thanks for the eBay.fr tip, I never knew you had to try other nation's different URLs to access their items on eBay. I found one already, and have sent a question to the seller (in fractured French) to find out if they accept PayPal or U.S. cash.... I don't have any Euros lying around....

Keep the suggestions coming, but thanks to everyone so far for their suggestions. This forum always astounds me.... in a good way.
