tabbs Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Twenty years ago, on 1-Jan-1986, Portugal and Spain joined the European Communities. The two countries commemorate the anniversary with coins that show a map and a bridge. Maybe not the most thrilling design idea ever but what I find neat is that basically the same design is used for both issues.

Art Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Nice. The two identical designs should be a real bonus for anyone who collects bridge coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 The piece from Portugal has apparently just been issued. Here is a picture of an actual coin - a little dark and with fingerprints but that shows it's not just a photo of the design ... http://www.numismatico.de/files/pt2006eu_433.jpg Not sure about when the one from Spain will be out.
