Beautiful coin, with a REAL history, continuity, and culture of the Falkland Islands.

This coin even gets the names of the islands correct - The Falklands!!
@1 LOl isn't that the cartoon version of the sinking of belgrado in 1982! - Don't you does love it when an argentine joke back fires on them lol!
Dec 04th, 2012 - 09:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0At least it's worth something Marcos, unlike the peso or austal or whatever you Argies call your worthless currency these days...
Dec 04th, 2012 - 10:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0@1 How's the YPF graph these days MA? How's fund raising going, or should I ask how is fund raising from the private sector going, as it would seem the government are the ones buying YPF debt. Do you think that model is sustainable MA?

Dec 04th, 2012 - 11:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0Like one of the other guys says, the iconography of his work, suggests the sinking of the Belgrano. Not his intention, no doubt!

Dec 04th, 2012 - 02:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the drawing of the little man,did you find it hard to do or did you get a little help from your mum
NO! You have got it all wrong!
Dec 04th, 2012 - 08:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The RGs WON the Malvinas war, we WON the Falklands War.
BTW MA it's not a periscope. That is the rudder stem of the upturned Belgrano going to the bottom to win the Malvinas war for RG. I think the rudder was blown off in the excitement of winning for once. What has Father Christmas got to do with it, you know, the figure in red?
Ha, ha, ha.

Marcos- What broke oil investors Please clarify and explain? I live here and know of none! Maybe you know of an Arg who was stupid enough to invest his every peso in YPF - he would be probabaly broke!! No doubt some folks here ahve lost some money on Desire - if they were stupid and did not sell enough shares at a high price to cover the cost of their initial investment. If anyone was that stupid - well serves them right I guess! That is the risk of the stock market!
Dec 05th, 2012 - 08:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But please tell me if we are all broke - who and what is this company called Premiere that is investing severel billion dollars over the next 5 years- and several millions coming from RKH as well.
What are FOGL and Borders who drilled in the South basin doing? - investing several millions now and next year on further detailed seismic work to enhance their area knowledge to define where to drill next?
You do live in a fantasy land!!!!!!!!!!!
