I was wondering if anybody was familiar with the polish painters series of retangular painted coins.I was wondering if they only made them from 2002-2007 and if they were a popular series. I really appreciate anybodies help with these coins. I was only able to post 3 pic's. Thanks Randy
Basically coin collecting is pretty popular in Poland; don't know about this particular series though. And yes, as far as I can tell, the "Painters" series has come to an end. For more info see http://www.nbp.pl/ Click on "English" (below the eagle), then choose "Banknotes and coins" and follow the submenus that will pop up: -> Collector Coins and 2 zl NG -> Images of collector coins and 2 zl NG -> (select a year; 1998-today). For pretty much every issue you can download a folder (PDF, English) with further information. Note however that the Polish Mint (Mennica Polska) also makes coins for other countries, see here: http://www.mennica.com.pl/index.php?pt=/2/statics/187,257/world_coins.html And that includes more "Painters" coins, e.g. for Niue (depicted) and Andorra (not listed yet). So if you are primarily interested in those rectangular coins featuring artists, you can buy more. Christian
The coins from or for Niue and Andorra pieces can be viewed in "your" other topic http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t52827/; also, the French Mint (Monnaie de Paris) now has a similar series ... Christian
They are on my to get list LOL (Along with many others ) I do quite like the Polish 2Zl and 10Zl coins some of the designs are shall we say quite innovative LOL
Poland's coinage has to be some of the most beautiful. They are doing a great innovative job. I just got this from Andorra. Very beautiful to look at IMO. rad1964 {;-()>
