<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 637685, member: 39&quot;]That €10 piece is a collector coin with ... a blank television screen in the middle. It commemorates 50 years &quot;Deutsches Fernsehen&quot; (which today is the ARD network). Pretty ugly indeed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the 2 DM coin, well, Konrad Adenauer became chancellor when he was 73 years old, and he had that office until 1963 when he was 87. Don&#039;t expect him to look like a teenager. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> And that eagle can be found on all 2 DM pieces from that statesmen series.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the Bremerhaven piece, well, that was made more than 80 years ago. I hope and expect that today&#039;s coinage looks different - even if it&#039;s only pieces made for collectors. Since this topic is about ugly pieces, I won&#039;t post images of modern coin designs that I like here, but you may click the links ...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.honscha.de/bilder/10d064.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.honscha.de/bilder/10d064.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.honscha.de/bilder/10d064.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://www.honscha.de/bilder/10d085.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.honscha.de/bilder/10d085.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.honscha.de/bilder/10d085.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Guess that collector who cherish coins from, say, the Imperial Germany may not really like such newer ones. But that also applies the other way round.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
