2003 1 euro coin

[goomolique]

Hi,

can someone help me with this coin?

I cant find much on google...

It says Ag 999 on it and 2 or 3 other i found on internet(ebay) were not silver.

Does it make it special?

And how much would be reasonable to pay for it?

Thanks

GB have never issued a Euro Coin of ny denomnation, all that have been issued are fantasy pieces by private

companies,he following site will give an idea of cost, value will be in the metal content only, in my opinion.

Have a look here : http://www.delcampe.net/items?catLists%5B%5D=2886&language=E

It seems that the legend "prueba trial essai probe" is common throughout Europe for such pieces. "Trial probe" is probably the literal translation of "Prueba essai" (what language? Italian? Esperanto?), but "prueba / probe" is probably intended to mean "proof". If you like the concept, it's a handsome piece and worth having, but don't pay too much for it. An entire set for Britain was listed at €79.

Trial in 4 languages. Spanish, English, German, French in the order on the coin.

It should say Ar or Arg for silver.

I think it stands for Agent 999, who joined a hell of a lot later than James Bond

The OP is correct. Ag (argentum) is the recognised symbol for the chemical element silver.

I know that, but AFAIK the coin world has never used the chemical symbol for silver? Spink, for example, uses AR for silver.

I'd never noticed that, probably because I don't generally collect silver coins!

Better that AR incorrectly refers to silver than the chemically correct symbol for argon. You might find your investment disappears into thin air.

And the rarer it is, the more... ...no, I must stop!

Just got this coin today. Looks much better in reality.

It has signs of oxidation.

Does that mean its silver or do the other metals get brown spots too?

[AustinClarke]

I have not seen such coin before hence; I cannot tell what value it holds in the market. However, I would like to know if somebody has any idea of it.
