2.

Much rarer, much less beatiful and probably worth much less than the very nice Dollar. I wouldn't turn my nose up at either one.

I've never been camping with George V though.
Non illegitimis carborundum est.  Excellent advice for all coins.

#1 for the obverse. One of the greatest depictions of a king or queen ever in my opinion.

I think he looks taller and thinner on the 1936 effigy.

That's cause both effigies were designed by different engravers.

George V on this dollar coin was designed by Percy Metcalfe, as with many other British commemoratives as well as Fijian and New Zealand coins, and the other by Edgar Bertram MacKennal.

 WHAT! I have to choose between these two?  I Want one of #1 SO bad, but #2 has deep history far deeper than you realize, #2 lead me to read for days and days about central American history. A bloody and complicated history going WAY back (for the Americas anyway)

  #2
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

Looking for pre 1783 coins
