Topical/themed collection "coins with small coins as the design on the coins"

Well, most people do not buy collector coins based on the metal content. That is what bullion pieces are for. And "German silver" (we do not use that term in German, but you sometimes come across "Neusilber" here) is roughly the same as Cu-Ni; a typical alloy is Cu62 Zn20 Ni18 ...

As for those silver-niobium pieces, the ring is silver (Ag900) while the pill is niobium. So the total silver content is 9 grams. Again, for people who are after metal only, a silver bar or bullion coin would certainly be a better option.

Here is a new "coin on a coin" - a French €10 collector piece (image: Monnaie de Paris) which shows a denier minted during the reign of Charles the Bald. In 864, thus 1150 years ago, his Edict of Pîtres established the system of (then ten) royal mint locations. The king's portrait in the center is taken from a royal seal.

thanks for posting it. I did not know about this 1.

 

A link to some of these was posted previously by someone else, but does not work now.
These are my Polish Zloty coins.





I have the original coin, one of my favorite designs.

 

I do not have the second pictured coin. Like you I have the bottom left coin in a 2, 5 ,10 denomination set with the 10 largest coin being my favorite. your is a very nice high grade. high graded coins on Ebay get big money.

 

You had me thinking for a while of what I had.

Here's some of mine. They are all coins on medals but they look quite neat.

Japan 1975 medal



Japan 2010 medal in mint set



Korea 2010 medal - featuring old cash coin



Australia 1969 (ND) medal
