Do you have any funny or strange coins?

Here is one that has not been issued yet - a €20 collector coin from Finland with the theme "Peace and Security". What you see is peace doves in front of a porthole - and the latter is actually a hole. Also, the other side does not have any recognizeable text or graphic elements ...



This is the plaster model. The coin will be a silver piece, probably proof only.

You're right, Drusus: these coins ARE cheap looking. On the other hand: my coin wasn't expensive neither: it costed 1.80 euro. (2 euro, but I got a discount...)

I wasn't aware this picture could offend someone, as in my home country it wouldn't be regarded as offending.
And for the people who haven't seen it: it stands in good old Krause: Cuba 1 peso KM#474

I neither understand how that picture can offend someone But that´s how it is to come from a part of the world not hysterical about...mmm...procreation related stuff

And I have to say: a lot of strange coins on display here :thumb:

 

Bring back da chick !!!!! Ripley

 

Here's something strange: 1/10 of a penny from Nigeria, before it gained independence from Britain.

 

I did a search and found it and I must agree, that coin belongs alongside a Obama Dollar. :goof: They both look cheesy! :goofer:

And lastly my most treasured coin/slab. From 9/11 fundraising on PCGS forum.

 

OK this is a strange early 15th century "Black Death" Jeton from France. :rolling: Traci

 

Not a funny type, it just looks like someone has tried to go Marie Antoinette on poor Victoria

 

hey joeyuk - i picked up a few of those Bear Search and Rescue Foundation coins at the Parsippanny High School flea market. Not a bad donation for an ounce of silver.

 

Just got this one...

1845 Large cent, spooned

 

These are not exactly 'funny', but rather unique in their design.

That certainly is unique 'pennywise'. Thanks for sharing.

I always get a kick out of this stylized feline on this coin:

 

It certainly is unusual. The creature looks like a rabid barracuda. All kidding aside, It's a really cool looking jeton.
