Maldives 20 rufiyaa International Year of the Child proof silver coin 1979

The Maldives 20 Rufiyaa 1979 is an elegant silver Proof commemorative created for the International Year of the Child, a United Nations initiative focused on children’s welfare, rights and development worldwide. The obverse presents a lively childhood scene with three children: a girl skipping rope, a seated young child reaching upward, and a boy holding a ball. Above them appears the International Year of the Child emblem, a stylized adult-and-child figure surrounded by laurel branches. The reverse features the national emblem of the Maldives in fine detail: a coconut palm with spreading fronds, crescent and star, two crossed Maldivian flags on poles and a ribbon below. The dual date 1399–1979 completes the design. Brilliant mirrored fields and finely frosted relief give the children, rope, ball, palm leaves, flags and national symbols excellent definition. A charming silver collectible uniting childhood, humanitarian history and Maldivian national heritage.
