<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1584213, member: 39&quot;]Two notes regarding the coins in posts <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t218281-2/#post1584165" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t218281-2/#post1584165">#25</a> and <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t218281-2/#post1584167" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t218281-2/#post1584167">#26</a>: These German ones are, strictly speaking, not dated - with such special coins, the year of issue is usually on the eagle side. In this case it was not done, so the only reference is the &quot;1972&quot;, the year of the Munich Olympics. However, the six issues came out between January 1970 and August 1972. (Later issues, such as the pieces for the Football World Cup 2006, did have &quot;actual&quot; dates on the eagle side.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The Austrian commems issued for the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck are special in that they were made by two mints: the one in Vienna (which makes all modern Austrain coins) and the one in Hall, Tyrol. Hall is close to Innsbruck and once had a famous mint (which these days is an attractive mint museum). So it was decided to have the Innsbruck &#039;76 pieces made in both Vienna (mintmark: the city&#039;s CoA) and Hall (mintmark: the Tyrolean eagle).</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
