<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1517856, member: 29751&quot;]I simply could not resist purchasing this one.&nbsp; It came in the mail today.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin commemorates the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome in 1957.&nbsp; This treaty was originally signed by 6 countries (France, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, and West Germany).&nbsp; This treaty led to the establishment of the European Economic Community, and would later (through many morphs) eventually lead to the backbone of the current day European Union.&nbsp; At the time this coin was minted in 1987, the member countries had grown to 12 with the addition of Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, and the UK.&nbsp; The twelve horses pulling the one &quot;30 Year&quot; emblem signify these member countries and their goal of fostering unity among the European countries.&nbsp; It has some pretty toning on the obverse to boot! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]197780.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]197781.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]197782.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
