Pretty sweet! I really dig mexican coins. The designs have stayed consistent and have very cool symbolic devices. The 1979 Malta One Pound in the thread I posted today was given to me as a gift by my girlfriend. I insisted that she not buy me coins for Christmas because odds are she'd either spend too much on a coin that didn't warrant the price or she'd have to dive into learning about a hobby that doesn't particularly engage her. Knowing her, it would be the latter. The compromise she came up with is that we browsed ebay for about an hour while I pointed out coins I could use for my collection that weren't ridiculously priced. She picked. I think she did very well.

I just received this one today (Christmas eve). It's not a particularly rare date, but a bit more difficult to obtain than most in decent condition.

As a bonus, I got it for about $7 US including postage! (filling holes with another raw ebay pick)

It has some pretty cool die clashing (double hits!) on the reverse which doesn't show too well in the pic.

Yup, Santa found out I ordered the Melk Abbey coin the other day and thought I should have another one...
