Call me a dunce, but I just figured out that each country that participates mints their own Euros. Ireland to Spain
Hmm. That just leaves GB. Since Ireland was just played and we came from Spain. So Isle of Mann to the UK
Sometimes a couple of us are trying to post at the same time and things get confused. No problem, we all love these beautiful coins we keep posting. I will now try to re insert that Isle of Man, it is a right nice one...
To the French Colonies... "Intended for general use in the West Indies, particularly Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Saint-Dominique (western Hispaniola) until it attained independence as Haiti in 1804." (Description from the Standard Catalog Of World Coins)
Since that last opened up the chance to sail back across the Atlantic in a straight line, let's head ENE to... Spain: gold half-escudo of Ferdinand VI, 1759, Madrid mint (PCGS XF40- population 1 - the only example certified by PCGS as of 11/04/2017)
So we can now shoot back north to England... An Edward I penny sitting on the coin book that started it all for me many years ago.
France: copper specimen striking of a 10-centime pattern (essai), 1848 (PCGS SP65 RB; population 1- the only example certified by PCGS as of 11/04/2017)
