Not a coin, but if i may , i think this is one of the best designs for a medal that the Mint has put out in recent times.
Those are beautiful coins dougsmit, I was hoping someone would post some ancients with a Roman Galley in here. Thanks.
Siber seems to have a fondness for ships! I have a Suid Afrikaan silver similar to your first post. I will post when I dig it up. I haven't had it out in a while but one of my favs.
Here's a Chinese coin with a ship: 1986 5 Yuan silver "Empress." Best wishes, Peter Anthony http://www.pandacollector.com
Ah, very interesting doug. Randy: Those are some cool coins, the ones of Constans.... and I didn't know you had a Mark Antony galley Denarius... I much like those, and have been waiting for the right one This second Malta coin doesn't have any ships, but has a Nauticaul theme. And I like the dolphins. The coloration is a bit off on the reverse of the 25cents coin, but that is my camera's fault.
Siberian I found my Suid Afrika finally. Sorry but excuse my photography once again. Love this coin even with the flaws.
