<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1300374, member: 39&quot;]Nice piece! It is part of a series, by the way, that was inspired by earlier Irish coins. (This year they did the salmon, next year comes the hound.) We could also include two pieces from Slovenia; the first one is a 10 tolarjev coin from the pre-euro years, the second one is the current 20 cent coin. That latter piece explicitly refers to Lipica horses; Lipica is a famous horse farm/school close to the Italian border.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/img3/160-10t00.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/images/image8570.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Such a &quot;Lipizzaner&quot; can also be found on the Austrian 5 schilling coins issued in 1960~2000. The Hofreitschule (Spanish Riding School) in Vienna uses Lipizzaner horses, mostly from a stud farm in Piber, Austria.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/img6/11-2889a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
