Forgot to mention that I did actually get that Italian €10 coin ... :ninja:

http://coinpeople.com/index.php?showtopic=...ndpost&p=139098

 

The piece shows a Roman sestertius coin from the year 69 (Emperor Vitellius). The woman with the olive branch and the cornucopia refers to the "Pax Augusti" (see the inscription) ... Not the best way, in my opinion, of visualizing the "60 Years of Peace" theme - but the design by itself I like.

What's the deal with that toning?  Is that common and original or did you have to pay extra?

 

The toning is completely original and looks great in hand. Its somewhat common to find toned coins in this series, sometimes nice and sometimes ugly. And no, I did not pay any extra for the toning - that was a bonus.

Now that "horse coin" looks interesting! Is it a commem or a normal circulation piece?

 

Christian

 

It is a normal circulation piece. It is one of the many coins that I have first seen posted here and have subsequently purchased for myself. :ninja:

 

There is a commem version with a different reverse issued in 2002.
