<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 327544, member: 39&quot;]The Slovenian coins are nicely designed, but of course they get an extra plus from me for having eight different designs for the eight denominations. The €1 piece from SI is a little too &quot;busy&quot; in my opinion, but apart from that, great.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cyprus and Malta - three different designs is, hmm, OK. The Malta coins - well, I know the designs result from a public poll/vote, but I find the combination of an actual historic building (Mnajdra Temple, &quot;copper&quot; coins) and two symbolic designs (CoA for the mid-range pieces, Maltese Cross for €1/€2) strange. The designs themselves, however, are good.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Cyprus designs are nice too, but I would have put the Pomos Idol on the Nordic Gold pieces, and the Kyrenia ship on the bi-met coins. And yes, I have them all - CY, MT, SI and the older ones. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for the 8-coin sets of circulation coins, I like the Italian pieces best. Not only because they have eight designs but also because the eight reflect Roman/Italian art and architecture through the centuries.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and - as from Thursday we EU citizens/residents can vote for our favorite design of the 2009 common €2 commemorative issue. The theme will be the euro&#039;s ten-year anniversary, and I hope there will be more than just designs with a big € in the middle. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
