    I'd like to show you my new commemorative coin consecrated to 2008 Olympics in Beijing. It's silver with a golden ball inside - this effect is amazing! There are some photos below. I think this swimmer on reverse looks the same like Michael Phelps and golden ball might symbolize his gold medals! What do you think about it?

    Yes, according to the mint, the ball is a gold plated duraluminium sphere. The other 10 zl coin in that Beijing Olympics series is interesting too: It has a square hole in the center, reminding of Chinese coinage ...
