Euro Coin Designs: Exhibition in Vienna

Recommended Posts

This summer the Money Museum in Vienna shows an exhibition called "Geprägt für Europa" (Minted for Europe), a "genesis" of the euro coin designs. Cannot say much about the exhibition since it won't be open until Tuesday :ninja: but it sounds interesting. The Money Museum displays many designs that took part in the euro design competition but were not selected by the jury ...

Yes, so far I have only seen very few of those euro coin designs. But I will try and find out whether this is a "local" exhibition, or one that tours Europe (like the bank note design exhibition a few years ago). Vienna is a very nice place but almost 1000 km away ... :ninja:

 

(Edit: Seems that this is basically the same "coin designs show" that has accompanied the notes exhibition before. Now it apparently is a separate show, and displays more designs. Hmm.)
