It's interesting that the design (outside of the owl) has changed a bit. You can see the differences compared to the first coin: [IMG] [IMG]
Earlier this year I picked up the first in the series of Totem Animals from Kazakhstan. The second coin was recently released and has now arrived....
Happy Birthday! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I agree it has the look of cleaned and retoned. PCGS must have market graded it back in the day (OGH era). I still liked the look and it's some of...

@Jaelus any reason for including SEGS in your poll? That might be one slab I rarely see with world coins. I’ve seen more in PCI holders (including...
