If one does not really care about the "means of payment" function of a coin, well, Palau has a couple of interesting issues. http://en.numista.com/catalogue/photos/palaos/g29.jpg http://en.numista.com/catalogue/photos/palaos/g8.jpg Christian
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder OK, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This SBA on a cent planchet is pretty IMO. The two ancient coins depict Athena. Athena is the patron of Athens. She is the goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law & justice, warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, skill, and probably a few other things. She is wearing a cool Corinthian helmet on the stater coin. Has nobody posted pretty Vickie coin from Great Britain?
On the medals side: Sorry for the poor quality image, I need to get something set up to shoot these. Dave
