All you guys, wow, amazing coins! Thanks for sharing with us!

 

I think his coin is much better than the 1 on the cover.

 

Here is a Regensburg "City View" AV Dukat ND struck 1750 under Franz I

 

that year Regensburg issued coinage from the tiny 1/2 dukaten upto the massive 30 Dukaten. Had I been around back then, I would have waited in line to pickup a freshly minted 30 Dukaten....too bad the modern German Mint cannot produce such beautifull coinage

 

Very handsome and well struck coin you got @panzerman !

 

Given the quality of coins he buys it wouldn't surprise me either.

 

Beautiful. I'm green with envy. Thank you so much for sharing!

 

Der Schätzpreis ist dreifach mein jährliches Budget für Münzen Die ist aber toll.

 

Beautiful coin

 

Technically the German mints could make such pieces - some of them make attractive reproductions of old coins for example. When it comes to newly issued pieces, it's a different story. But then I also wonder ... not too many people would want to buy vintage cars or antique furniture for their everyday needs. Our coins have simply gone similar ways. I sure find ancient Roman jewelry or Celtic garments for example interesting, but I would not use them these days. Same with "old" coins - and collectors who prefer older pieces can obviously buy and enjoy them.

Who said there weren't Ancient Aliens!

 

I do like the 2€ State commemoratives.

 

Me too, but of course they are quite different from the city view talers shown here. Besides, next year a brand new state, named after some rodent, will be honored - "Bundesrat".

(Background for those who are not familiar with the series: It is going to be interrupted in 2019, but the federal government wants the ersatz coin, honoring the states chamber of the parliament, to look like one of those states coins.)

A design that may come somewhat close to what @panzerman likes is this year's World Heritage gold coin. Thumbnail only as it is off-topic here ...
