Isle of Man Sovereigns
1979 Sovereigns
The good news is that full sovereigns were issued in 1979, both in ordinary uncirculated and also proof versions. We have details of these on our Gold Sovereigns website.
Canadian $100 Gold Commemorative
From 1976 onwards, Canada has issued a series of proof gold commemorative one hundred dollar coins, we occasionally have some in stock.
Manx Half Sovereigns or Other Manx Gold Coins
The Isle of Man issued half sovereigns dated 1979, but only 8,000 pieces in the uncirculated version, and 30,000 proofs. You could take a look at our Isle of Man pages.
Krugerrands
One ounce Krugerrands were issued in 1979, so we may have them available. Take a look at our Krugerrands For Sale page, or better still at our Krugerrands by Date page.
The fractional sizes of Krugerrand, half ounce, quarter ounce and tenth ounce were not introduced until 1980.
San Marino Scudi
Several different denominations of Scudi were issued in 1979.
Chile 100 Pesos
Chile therefore has produced a variety of gold coins for a long period of time, and makes an interesting subject for the collector of gold coins.
