I think I have the coins from the 2-coin set - Iceland has some amazingly designed coins with interesting background stories, as the original post...
I hope not - that would make for some really rotten quality control, unless you meant a Cheerios box from 1964... :D
It's hard to make out, so perhaps others can extrapolate information from the other parts of the coins? They are cool in any case. English...
The big annual coin show sponsored by the local coin club was supposed to happen this last weekend and it was canceled.
