A few random things today



A country I'd never heard of

Already looked it up in Krause but thanks. No real value but a one year type.

 

Yeah kinda interesting

 

In this case the occasion was a little different. While the text says "Symbol of German Unity" (basically because it was right on the East-West border), the coin commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Brandenburg Gate. This gate (there had been an earlier one at that site) was built or rather completed in 1791.

The Munich Olympics coins, by the way, have somewhat misleading dates. Usually the silver and gold coins have the year on the eagle side. These ones do not, they merely refer to the 1972 Games on the other side. The first ones however were issued earlier: Spiral/"in Deutschland" in 1970, Abstract Rings 1971, Two Athletes 1971 ...

The 2 1987s are awesome. Nice!

 

Kudos on the 1995!

 

Here are a few more silver commemoratives that I picked up with animals on them. I went on a bit of a spending spree with my accumulated Paypal balance.

 

I think the 2004 Canadian 25 Cent was one of the first, if not the first circulating colorized coin. I have a few of the 2006 Pink Ribbons.

 

Addition to the Silver Bullion collection.

2015 Ukraine St. Michael the Archangel.

 

Those are my favorite out of the bunch!
