<p>[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 241165, member: 39"]Nice design indeed, but I do not particularly like those "theme series". Besides, unlike the €5 and €10 silver collector coins, those €20 pieces are issued in proof quality only and can therefore not be had at face value. So I won't buy the Nordbahn coin. What I did purchase, however, was this one, issued earlier this year:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.pte.at/photo_db/thumbnails/thumb26387.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>High resolution image (about 400K):</p><p><a href="http://img.pte.at/photo_db/hi_res/hires26387.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img.pte.at/photo_db/hi_res/hires26387.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.pte.at/photo_db/hi_res/hires26387.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, a piece from a theme series (heck, I have never said that I am consistent as far as collecting coins is concerned <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) and maybe even a little too "overdetailed".
