Message:: [QUOTE="chrisild, post: 2132641, member: 39"]My current favorite (well, in the sense of "not too bad") is this one ... <img src="http://www.coin-competition.eu/sites/default/files/coin/coin-1_1.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> ... primarily because it appears to be dynamic, and even conveys some joy. What I do not like is the mere "2015"; the other designs all say "1985-2015" and thus provide at least a little hint at what the coin is about. The "chain of little people" is a nice idea too, but I have seen similar scenes on euro coins before. My pet peeve, and that of various euro collectors, is the theme, and the multitude. Theme: The flag was first used by the Council of Europe (not an EU body), and in 1985 adopted by the European Union. Multitude: This will be a joint issue, that is, it will come from 19 euro countries - with the same design, and basically just the country name being different. Guess that for me, one piece (preferably from Germany or some other "high volume" issuer) will be sufficient. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Christian[/QUOTE]
