Mine has to be the 2001 £2 from Gibraltar featuring standing Britannia with the castle and key on the shield and the flag flying as a cape behind her. Just goes to show how patriotic the gibraltairians are ! That or the reserve bank of India 10 rupees, has a mohur effect too it. What is yours ?
My favorite (well, one of them) is on the left - my avatar is an Italian €1 coin. Shows Michelangelo's "Vitruvian Man" ... Christian
The Canadian Toonie from 2003-2012 (old style, second effigy) British Two Pounds from 1998-current No pictures
The 2003 Canada 2-dollar is one of my favorites. I've got several of them & I'm sorry to post such a terrible photo. If the photos I previously posted at CT were still available in a galery, then I would be able to post a much nicer photo here.
I like the bi metallic coin errors, Chile 2003 500 pesos misaligned core error, Chile 500 pesos pattern, Chile 2008 100 pesos double strike, Chile double rev 100 pesos,
The Great Britain model penny is basically a small silver 1 pence in a larger copper ring. They were made in the mid-1800s. I wanted to post one of my Great Britain model penny coins in this thread. Unfortunately, all my photos that I had archived at CoinTalk are apparently no longer available for me to post from the CoinTalk gallery. I tried searching CoinTalk for one of the previous threads where one of my model penny coins may have been posted. That search was unsuccessful. The bottom line is, I cannot post one of my bi-medal model penny coins in this thread. Here is a link to some stock photos on the Internet: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q...70D53A2301AE57CEF87764D59193CFA61&FORM=IQFRBA I hope some will follow the link. The Great Britain model penny is an interesting coin.
BTW, I don't recommend anyone searching the Internet for "Model Penny". There are several female models with the name Penny & your search probably won't result in finding examples of the Great Britain model penny coin.
If I remember right the "model" coinage was made by a button maker ? The penny is awesome, there is one of Edward too I think its a model 1/3 farthing or something coronation one with St. George on pretty cool !
