Dear Editor,
A Guyana 1976 fifty dollar “Enmore Martyrs” coin was sold on eBay on Wednesday for US$561.97. That price is much more than what I have ever seen for coins of this denomination. These Enmore Martyrs coins are the largest coins ever made for the Bank of Guyana. They are nearly two inches in diameter and are made of sterling silver. The fifty dollar denomination is one of ten denominations minted at the Franklin Mint in 1976 to commemorate Guyana’s tenth anniversary of Independence.
Only 1101 Enmore Martyrs coins were made. 1001 were minted in proof grade with brilliant background and frosted features. The other hundred were minted with a dull background and no lustrous features. Both types are relatively rare. In more than twenty years of seeking them, I have seen just one of the non-lustrous type. The coin sold on Wednesday was of the brilliant lustrous type. These are easier to find. I have seen nine of them.
Yours faithfully,
Tulsi Dyal Singh, MD
