”Black birds tend to like shiny things.” ~ The Bloody Raven

It was not too difficult to figure what @punkysdad got me for Christmas since both our orders are combined at the same retailer to qualify on the free Postage with Tracking. Nor am I into spending a huge premium on a coin like this unless it was a Christmas gift as is in this case? I am sure he figured that the two 2018 Perth mint silver Tiger & Dragons are that his sons are Tiger & Dragon birth years.

The Shiny gift

Then the reeded edge...

Minted by the Germania Mint
Mintage of 2,500

I do love this gorgeous series but it was too rich for my budget and just sticking with the 1 oz. Allegory series. With this 2 Troy oz. size kind of sticking out of the One oz. I am put into a collecting spot.

Bonus Feature Banknote

Since I do not have a silver coin from Colombia I had to borrow this note again from @punkysdad , as I think @melinda010100 would like the feathered friends on this banknote.

1993 Colombia 10,000 Pesos Oro

Front; BANCO DE LA REPIBLICA, DIEZ MIL PESOS, COLOMBIA
Mujer Embera Watermark on the Left
Signatures, Santa Fe, Bogata, 1993, Mujer Embera
Commemorative Issue of the quincentennial of Christopher Columbus voyage.
10,000, Embera Indian woman, Plate, Gold Figure, 10,000
70mm x 140mm

I have to be very careful handling as this Uncirculated note has a Collector’s value of $150 USD.

1993 Colombia 10,000 Pesos Oro

Back; 10,000 DIEZ MIL PESOS
Martin Waldseemullers world map of 1507, Colon’s Nao Santa Maria
Cornucopia bak seal at top center
Reference Pick# 437

White pelican, Frigate bird, Toucan, Oriole, Red-capped Cardinal, Blue & Gold Macaw, Andean condor, Green honeycreeper, Greater flamingo, Scarlet ibis, Andean Cock of the Rock, Hooded blackbird, Scarlet Macaw, Amazon Parrot, and Metallic green tanager

I am not sure if I got a few names right or in order for the feathered friends gang.

There is a poignant quote in micro print on the note that is hard to take picture of that was likely from Christopher Columbus’ in his later years.

People that would best be freed and would convert to our holy Faith with love but not with force.

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS

I didn't realize that the coin came in a fancy little box but it was perfect exchange for the pair of 2018 Perth mint Tiger and Dragon coins he wanted.

Always, with love ⛄ 🎄 🎁 🌟 🎅

I agree, my original plan is to only get just one 1 Troy oz, coin of the regular Germania series and the ODD allegory IF I LIKED IT and is availble. That threw a bit of a monkey wrench in the plan. Can't complain though.

This coin would be big HIT with the 'Ladies of Hive Community' only that I must temper such unnecessary flaunting of wealth that could be discourage of my poorer sisters living in South America.
We have members from Poverty stricken areas of Venezuela, Brazil and Argentina to which I will cover the cultural aspects.Encourage, Empower & Support the Sisters.

This was not in my original plan with this series.
I planned to stay only on the cheaper ONE OUNCE Germania only.
Nice way derail a plan though.

Thought this Coat of arms is a fictional crest it has all the historical elements of the traditional context of the region and era. The Germania mint website explains in detail their design.
It's still represents a part of the rich cultural history of the Holy Roman Empire along with it's crazy power struggles, politics and wars.

The Holy Roman Empire was neither Holy, Roman or an Empire! ~ Voltaire

I already understand that there was a lot of Pork Barrelling with Corporations getting the Lion's share of the Stimulus, more stimulus for government pet projects, and stimulus for other countries as well, and what's left over was for the main street Americans to pay half the overdue rent.
And that's all piled onto the public debt.
Keep Staking, just keep stacking.

Years before Hive and Youtube @punkysdad is a friend that got me into Stacking years ago when I finally got steady work and settled my debts. He and his church were looking after my kids while I finished Nursing school to stand on my own feet rather than live off welfare.
He treats me as his only daughter.
I made an account for him here on Hive and he just comments for now on odd posts and I have been encouraging him to make his first post. He says I shouldn't show everyone your hard savings because it will make you/me a target for robbery in the future by government or any street hood with a computer.
Been an ongoing argument a long time.

Thanks for asking @goldrooster

Hi, please check your wallet, you have the Hivetorch!!
The idea is to pass it on as fast as possible. Keep Hive on fire and send it to the next trustful & active user!
