<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1185524, member: 39&quot;]Thanks for the post, Clinker! A while ago I got their latest issue, the 2006 coin you show here. I am not really fond of the design (a little cartoon-ish in my opinion) but heck, it was the first coin from Liechtenstein in my collection ...</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, until 1924 Liechtenstein had a currency union with Austria; in May &#039;24 they switched over to the Swiss Franc/Franken. Here are two coins - which I do not have - that illustrate this nicely:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/nmc/234-3.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/nmc/234-3.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/nmc/234-3.jpg</a></p><p>2 KR (Kronen) thus &quot;Austrian&quot;</p><p><a href="http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/nmc3/234-9.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/nmc3/234-9.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/nmc3/234-9.jpg</a></p><p>2 FR (Franken) thus &quot;Swiss&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Apart from that, the designs of the two are almost the same. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Another interesting &quot;oddity&quot; is the two gold pieces, dated 1961, which were supposed to commemorate 100 years of the Liechtensteinische Landesbank. Well, they were not issued until 1986, for the 125-year jubilee ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
