    What I mean is coins that commemorate coins.

    Here is a 1 Euro Greek coin depicting an Athenian Owls, and beside it... the real thing. (unfortunately the Athenian Owl coin was not mine :( )

    That's kind of neat. Is that 1 Euro or 1 Gyro.

    I like that original Athenian Owl. How much do those run for these days?

    Oh, a few hundred. Quite a bit out of my price range at the moment but will be going on my wish list.

    Thanks guys.

    A decent Athenian Own can head towards the $1000 mark and beyond.

    One of Britains 2013 Two Pound coin celebrates the 350th Anniversary of the Golden Guinea.

    Quite a few European countries issue such coins on coins. Portugal and Spain come to mind, and the latest issue that I have seen (but not purchased ... so far :) ) is a silver 5 zł collector coin from Poland. It features the first Polish coin, issued about 1,000 years ago. In previous years Poland made several coins that depicted early 20c coins; this is the first one in a new series.

    Nice. I have an Athenian owl coin somewhere. I might have to dig it out.
