still a way to go, next stop nanodrive and then onto holographic memory...

Some 1oz Silver coins that took my fancy from @Panda6Pack

From your photo the one of left looks like a well circulated coin. The one on right (shiny) could simply be a newly circulated coin from a sealed bag from bank and stored away or from a bunc set and found its way into circulation.

Maybe from an BUNC set rather than proof?

This beautifully done High Relief 2 Troy oz Silver Medal pays tribute to this Saint along with many well known numismatic coins from history! This is a big 50mm size 2 Oz .999 silver high-relief silver round made by the Intaglio Mint. On the reverse 6 different coins are circled around the Intaglio-mint crest. First, in the 12 o'clock position: Hammer struck Lydian Lion (1/3 stater), arguably the oldest known coin. At 2 o'clock - The Chinese Cash Coin, cast in medieval Asia. At 4 o'clock - A Byzantine Solidus, marking the money used after the fall of the West. At the 6 o'clock position - The Pillar Dollar, widely used by many countries as the first international currency, with the uniformity partly due to the milled coinage machines used. At 8 o'clock - The Sovereign, depicting Pistrucci’s masterpiece of St. George slaying the dragon, a classic design that moved circulating coinage away from heraldry into beautiful motifs. At 10 o'clock - Last, but not least, one of America’s greatest coin designs of all times, the Winged Liberty, more widely known as the Mercury Dime.
