<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1152735, member: 39&quot;]What Portugal issues these days is a mixed bag so to say - some designs I find very attractive, others are ho-hum or worse. Here for example is a fairly odd €8 piece commemorating Henry the Navigator: <a href="http://www.muenzauktion.com/ludwig/pic/artid3709_combined.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.muenzauktion.com/ludwig/pic/artid3709_combined.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.muenzauktion.com/ludwig/pic/artid3709_combined.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This one is from the Unesco World Heritage series; it shows the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon. <a href="http://muenzen-shops.de/witte/pic/x_6291a.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://muenzen-shops.de/witte/pic/x_6291a.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://muenzen-shops.de/witte/pic/x_6291a.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>They also have a neat &quot;coins on coins&quot; series; I like how they adapt the &quot;modern&quot; side (with the country name, face value etc.) to the style of the historic piece. Started in 2009 with this 13c &quot;morabitino&quot; design: <a href="http://www.honscha.de/bilder/15p092.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.honscha.de/bilder/15p092.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.honscha.de/bilder/15p092.jpg</a>, followed by this 16c &quot;justo&quot;: <a href="http://www.honscha.de/bilder/5p10.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.honscha.de/bilder/5p10.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.honscha.de/bilder/5p10.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
