<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2928299, member: 39&quot;]Well designed, like it. This way they also avoided the issue of who to honor. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Germany for example picked Martin Luther for the €20 silver coin issued at face (image below from YouTube video rScQ2tdQ54I) but also issued two gold coins: €50 with the Luther Rose, and €100 (in the Unesco World Heritage series) featuring the Luther Memorial Sites in Eisleben and Wittenberg.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]710546[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Switzerland issued a <a href="http://www.kirchenbund.ch/sites/default/files/IMG/pressemitteilungen/pm_swissmint.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.kirchenbund.ch/sites/default/files/IMG/pressemitteilungen/pm_swissmint.jpg" rel="nofollow">20 fr coin</a> that is also dedicated to the 1517 Reformation.

The combination of his head and the bible text is a good idea, but I&#039;m not a fan of such flat &quot;drawn&quot; portraits. Besides, the Latin numbers (i, ii, iii ...) almost look like parts of his face. Nah, he did not have a mustache. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
