And of course, since these are coins*, they will even be depicted in plain old regular coin catalogs. * In my opinion, however, the coins from that Carribbean Pirates series are quite poorly done. Look like pieces with comic book type stickers.

What you see is peace doves in front of a porthole - and the latter is actually a hole. Also, the other side does not have any recognizeable text or graphic elements ... This is the plaster model. The coin will be a silver piece, probably proof only.

On the other hand: my coin wasn't expensive neither: it costed 1.80 euro. (2 euro, but I got a discount...) I wasn't aware this picture could offend someone, as in my home country it wouldn't be regarded as offending. And for the people who haven't seen it: it stands in good old Krause: Cuba 1 peso KM#474 bart __________________ My collection : http://www.omnicoin.com/?collection=bart   06-22-2009, 08:16 PM   #23 (permalink) kvarterto Senior Member     Join Date: Nov 2008 Location: Noreg Posts: 215 Quote: Originally Posted by bart I wasn't aware this picture could offend someone, as in my home country it wouldn't be regarded as offending.

Look like pieces with comic book type stickers. I did a search and found it and I must agree, that coin belongs alongside a Obama Dollar. They both look cheesy!
