I really like the Berlin Wall coin.

 

I remember when the wall came down. My buddy went then and brought me back two broken pieces. I wish I still had them.

 

I don't understand how a coin minted in 2014 could be the 2016 coin of the year.

 

Well, at least the coin of the year wasn't the "coin of the century."

 

Interesting - I can see a few of those coins causing controversy here in the states. Some nice designs in the selections. Thanks for sharing the page.

 

"The 2014-dated Maple Canopy coin featured an excellent reverse depiction of an onlooker’s view while looking up at a maple tree during its fullest time of the year, "

Looks more like a depiction of Vancouver Harbor.........

 

The selection of the winners is done while 2015 is still in full swing and I guess the publishing house wants to have some kind of equal basis, so it picks coin issued in the latest "full year", thus 2014. The award "ceremony" is in February, thus 2016 ...

By the way, the Austrian €20 collector coin is not about the Berlin Wall (only). As the text on the piece says, it commemorates the end of the Iron Curtain.

I really like the Polish 10 Zlotych and the Latvian coin.

 

I have that coin. Very nice design for sure!! Not surprised it won an award.
