[QUOTE="TheGame, post: 3609602, member: 82655"]For single, circulating coins, my vote also goes to the Czech 50 Korun. They are absolutely beautiful in hand. For complete series, two come to mind: First, Switzerland. They know they don't need to fix what isn't broken. For those not familiar, all designs except for one date from the 1870s, and the other from the 1920s.

I like the progression of designs and composition throughout, and they're usually well-made. [IMG]https://www.absolutetours.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/BP-12-Forints-1-coins-the-hungarian-forint-800.jpg[/IMG] Note - the progression of designs I mentioned makes more sense when [URL='https://previews.123rf.com/images/wrangel/wrangel1209/wrangel120900356/15449973-hungarian-forint-coins-isolated-on-white.jpg']including the discontinued 1 and 2 forint[/URL]. There are a few other countries whose current series have nice designs, but are hurt by the fact that they're made of plated steel, which usually doesn't look very good once circulated.[/QUOTE]
