Arne,the Namibian Dollar is the legal currency of Namibia,but you can spend Rand there at par - N$1 = R1.This has been the case since 1993.
The German silver 1 Mark weighed just over 5 grams,as the 1/2 Mark weighed 2.7770 grams of .900 fine silver.
Question No. 5;
What member state of the Eurozone struck a silver Proof-only 15 Euro medal-coin in 2007 commemorating Ivan Mestrovic?
