tabbs Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I absolutely love the fact that they do complete foil representations of the coins themselves. I'm putting these up on the bulletin board. Yesss! I have one of those cards too. (Got it along with a Czech coin dated 2002 that commemorates the introduction of the euro cash.) Usually I trash most of the "paper" that comes with a coin - not in this case though. Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabbs Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I wonder when they started to issue those. There is some information about those cards on page 166-167 of this PDF document: Czech Coins and Medals 1993-2005 http://www.mint.cz/en/images/Katalog_minci_a_medaili.pdf (in Czech, about 220 pages) Seems they have done it from early on (1993-). Problem is, I do not understand Czech ... Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doogy Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 here is my newest, as it arrived today. 1975 Bermuda $100 gold, to commeriate the Royal Visit of the queen in '75. Nearly 1/5 oz. of .900 gold, and a beautiful coin (especially for the $99 i paid for it!) Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabbs Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Nice! I particularly like that Münchhausen coin ... mostly because of the design but also due to the strange way the country and denomination were added. They could simply have written "1 lats" for the face value, but no, it's "viens simts santimu" (one hundred santims), and the country name can be found on the edge only ... When that coin was issued, I first wondered about the occasion. His 285th birthday?? Well, turned out that the reason was the reopening of the Münchhausen Museum in Dunte (today LT). Münchhausen was born and died in Bodenwerder (today NI, DE) but lived in Dunte for a couple of years and got married nearby. The coin was minted by the KNM in Utrecht, I think.

bill Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I commented on the Latvian coin in your other post and the freedom of modern artists in how they treat the coin as medium. Your Polish commemoratives intrigue me for the consistent style or manner in which they use the positive and negative aspects of the coin's field to create a strong design. The amber inset, albeit totally impractical for a circulating coin, adds a touch to the obverse that knocks my socks off. Great coin.

Christian In that case it should contain the mint mark of the KNM (caduceus) and the mint master mark (sails), which I can't see in the image. Perhaps on the edge?

tabbs Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Possibly so; I do not have that coin but I cannot see anything like that in the picture. Here http://www.muenzauktion.com/mehlhausen/item.php5?id=5 is a large image that does not show a mintmark either. But even the Latvian central bank states that the coin was made by the KNM. Maybe Tiff could check the edge? Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiffibunny Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 I don't care for Morgan Dollars but this coin just blew me away with the reverse design. I had to have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
