<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1500629, member: 39&quot;]Well, there are lots of coins dedicated to peace, and even if we leave those out that I mentioned before (&quot;we now have peace because you lost and we won&quot;), there are quite a few left. Here is one from Finland, with a design that is quite abstract - which applies to many Finnish coins - and no particular occasion. From the <a href="http://www.suomenrahapaja.fi/eng/commemorative-and-collector-coins/peace-and-security" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.suomenrahapaja.fi/eng/commemorative-and-collector-coins/peace-and-security" rel="nofollow">description/background info</a> at the Finnish Mint&#039;s website:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Peace is the natural state for mankind and war is an exception to that state. Peace is a structural element in a harmonious and happy life. Security for its part provides people with the possibility to trust in the future. The concept of peace can be split into negative and positive peace. Negative peace is the absence of war while positive peace is the absence of potential structural causes of war. A dictatorship, for example, that abuses human rights may meet the definition for being in a state of negative peace (no widespread violence) yet fail to meet that for positive peace since, in a structural sense, the dictatorship is violent. Peace and security occur only when, in addition to war, both indirect and structural violence are removed from people&#039;s lives.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
