My only RM weakness, never pay issue price though.

Firstly, i've shed a fair bit of Gold weight lately to make way for a very special purchase and I would like to extend thanks to all the forum members who purchased coins from me to make it possible.  You know who you are, and it was very much appreciated 😀 
And secondly, and once again, thank you very much for all the effort, time and patience! That @SilverMike, @Roy & @Elements provided, in terms of helping to guide me into making this fantastic acquisition 👍😃
So, what exactly is in the box? 🤷‍♂️  

 
It needs no introductions...
 



 
And maybe, just maybe that 5 Pound is Ultra Cameo?  The Obverse certainly meets the criteria! 😉

Thanks for some cool bits today 

Here is my latest auction win a 1938 dated, Yugoslavian 50 Dinara made from .750 silver, this coin and the 20 Dinara were the only silver coins made that year, they  featured the young Peter II who's dad was assassinated in France, Peter was too young to take the throne at 11, so his uncle was made regent, his uncle sided with the nazi's and Britain helped organise a 'coup d etat' placing Peter on the throne, the nazi's then invaded Yugoslavia, and Peter left for Britain via Greece and Egypt, he was commissioned into the RAF in 1941.
The Germans confiscated most of the precious/war material metals when they invaded and they had to be replaced by zinc, after the war what coinage remained was destroyed and a new communist government and associated currency was adopted.
The production of this coin was only manufactured during 1938, and despite 10 million being produced they are quite scarce now in uncirculated condition.
The writing around the edge translates to 'God protects Yugoslavia'
Quite a large coin, its the size of a British £2 coin.
