tabbs Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Latvia issued a very interesting collector coin a couple of weeks ago - the "Coin of Digits". This is a heptagonal piece, face value 1 lats, with a symbolic but extremely low mintage of 2007. Obverse (http://www.bank.lv/images/img_lb/naudas/im...u_moneta_av.gif) "The Arabic numeral 0 is in the centre of the heptagon, with the year 2007 arranged above it to the left, and the inscription 1 LATS placed to the right, against a background of an Oriental pattern of curvy lines." Reverse (http://www.bank.lv/images/img_lb/naudas/im..._moneta_rev.gif) "The Roman numeral I is in the centre of the heptagon, with the year MMVII split and arranged on both sides of it, against a background of an ornament of straight lines forming the shapes of Roman numerals." Images and descriptions borrowed from the central bank's web site. More about the coin and the meaning of the various design elements is here: http://www.bank.lv/eng/main/all/lvnaud/jub...coin_of_digits/ Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiffibunny Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I love wacky coins, but that's a little too much wacky for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
