<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 394999, member: 39&quot;]On those pages frizio has various different kinds of designs. There are projects which could be called purely fantasy such as the &quot;Euro 2008 Football Cup&quot; designs. In other cases his designs are based on themes that mints/governments announce. For example, the Spanish government decided last year that Clara Campoamor should be depicted on future euro circulation coins. There has been no decision about a possible design, what denomination should be used etc. - but why not visualize what such a piece <i>might</i> look like?</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of his designs are what frizio calls &quot;graphic interpretations&quot;. Those are based on actual coin designs. Sometimes a government will only publish a meager drawing first, then it is nice to get a better idea of the design. Or, in the case of common €2 commems, the European Commission will publish a &quot;generic&quot; design first; then frizio &quot;localizes&quot; that - see the Treaty of Rome pieces or the 10 Years EMU/Euro designs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some designs that he made for micronations can even be purchased. Maybe medals rather than coins, but flesh and blood ... errm, copper and nickel ... rather than images. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
