Now, don't get excited because I only have three so far but a few years ago I saw this coin and had to have it. I put it away and today I went looking for it and found it and one of the others. The third, a 2 oz coin is still missing but I think my wife knows where it is. She carries it for luck sometimes.
I just really liked this coin and later found out it was a series. I bought it for $25 USD and I think I got a good deal because it speaks to me and I just looked and it seems to be worth at least $45 now. It is from a company called Silver Shield, who I hadn't heard of at the time but I hear of all the time now.
This is the reverse but I think they all look like this.
Anyhow, I hope you like the coin and I will be sure to post the others when my RC gets back up and I get back from the music festival this weekend.
Take care
Some one had mentioned to me that the Dali Lama is the spitting image of an old television comedian named Phil Silvers.
Yes, I am very familiar with Silver shield, I have several of their products with the latest one being Fiat Nevermore.
Haha, Phil Silvers was great and I hadn't thought of it but yeah, they do resemble one another. That coin of yours is stunning. I didn't even know you could buy a five ounce coin.
Silver Shield products are made by the Golden State Mint in Florida,

Reasonable prices. Reliable retailer.
I definitely love the coin and I must say you really make a good choice 🙂
