A few coins from Canada I got in a trade a while back. The spots on the Silver Dollars are on the ICCS plastic With the addition of this next 1926 Canada Nickel I now only need the 1925 and 2018 to make a complete 1922-2018 Date set. and finally a couple more modern coins from Canada
Nice UNCs, both. I've encountered those Cypriot coins in bulk lots - even Red UNCs - but not quite that nice.
Oh, that's a lovely design. Haven't seen that one before. That's pretty doggone cool, too. I love all the winged critters, the octolabe on the reverse, and that killer frosty DCAM contrast.
The apostles Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John with a book symbolizes their gospels, surrounding the Pax symbol. I don't read or speak Polish but pretty sure thats the reverse meaning. Poland still a very religious country with very strong beliefs.
The side with the four evangelists was also used for the brass 2 zł commem issued on the same occasion. Don't speak Polish either but "Wielki Jubileusz Roku 2000" means "Great Jubilee Year 2000".
