This commemorative coin was issued for Wilhelm&#039;s 200th birthday but honors both. This way the government did not &quot;have&quot; to issue another commem two years later. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.muenzen.eu/assets/images/4/5-dm-humboldt-1967-1a9760c4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Currently I am reading a book about the artist René Magritte.
