You always have very nice coins. Thanks for sharing.

 

Very nice presentation of some very interesting coins Eugene. I always liked bi-metallics, and these are outstanding examples of nicely designed and struck ones. Again, you've shown me a series of coins I've never seen before. Thank-you.

This year's €2 commem from San Marino shows a decapitation by the way. It commemorates Giorgio Vasari who was born 500 years ago, and features Judith and Holofernes. Image from the Numismatic Office; the coin was issued this summer.



This http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/87/Giorgo_Vasari_-_Judith_and_Holofernes.jpg is Vasari's painting. More about Judith and Holofernes is here for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Beheading_Holofernes.
