<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 3425308, member: 39&quot;]The hammer and sickle symbol is alive and well in Transnistria ... I don&#039;t have this coin and will thus borrow an image from Wikipedia:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8a/10_kopejek_PMR.JPG/800px-10_kopejek_PMR.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The Austrian coin (in post #6) I find interesting because their eagle, introduced 100 years ago, has always had three &quot;class&quot; symbols: The sickle represents the farmers or peasants, the hammer is for the working class, and the mural crown means the bourgeoisie or middle class. During the years of austrofascism and the later Anschluss, a different eagle was used - but when the republican eagle came back after 1945, the broken chains were added as a symbol of the liberation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
