Strictly speaking, this is a coin with a coin on it. It is an 1814 Brazil 960 Reis over struck on an 1806 Santiago Chile 8 Reales.
To be honest I'm not a big fan of coins on coins.(Overstrikes not included) A bit tacky imo but my contribution to the thread will be this coin which I don't happen to own. This is one of several designs France has issued commemorating the start of the euro coinage. The most famous one being the last franc coin which shows a 1 franc coin on a euro coin. I can't find that particular design so this will have to do
Here's a New Zealand dollar I've had for awhile and an Isle of Man coin I just bought tonight. I also have a Polish 2 zlote with coins on it but don't have pics available right now.
Yeah, it's like a bad remake of a great film. Can't stomach them. Here is my contribution within this topic of uninspired shame and a lack of originality from modern day mints. http://www.nbp.pl/home.aspx?f=/banknoty_i_monety/monety_okolicznosciowe/serie/dzieje_zlotego.html http://www.nbp.pl/home.aspx?f=/bank...znosciowe/serie/historia_monety_polskiej.html
South African 1 Rand Anniversary of Pretoria Mint showing coins that were in circulation at the time.
Yes, I'm sure. The token was issued with regard to a lottery. They are coins. Dalton & Hamer described the obverse as: A bluecoat boy preparing to draw from a lottery wheel. NOTHING VENTURE NOTHING HAVE. Exergue: A cornucopia of money dividing the date 17–95.
