Well, The1st word on your mid is a "What a bad cropped photo", i think. Ok,you're right. i'm not master in Editing photos, but at least i can make my photos on this blog are lookable. Looks like this coin has decreasing size from 1907. You can take a look at the 1st mint 1903. It has 0.9000 silver fine, 13.47 grams. Since the 2nd version has minted, it's gone to be 10 grams and 0,7500 silver fine. What a shame. Although the size was reduced, it's not make me mad and sad, it is so make me lucky and happy instead. Why?, because is this the one of the rariest coin in this version. I washed this coin clearly and put it in self-adhesive coin holder. You can see the little green spot in obverse, behind the lady. And some dim in Reverse. You can buy this coin on ebay if you get lucky. Happy Collecting! :)

Description : 1 Hryvnia 2010
Mintage : N/A
Country : Ukraine 

Well, if you see this coin. What do you think?. How much you'll rate them?. A 10 stars or 5 stars?. I doubt it. That's because the people must have their judge for anything. You have no right for obligate someone to judge or appreciate the thing, by myself, i see it's proper to get 7 stars. (DON'T ASK!). This coin is from Ukraine. What's your opinion about his new-indepence cointry?. Ukraina is a country in Central and Eastern Europe. It has an area of 603,628 km², making it the second largest contiguous country on the European continent, after Russia. I hope the Ukrainian people enjoyed and be more patiently with their currency, it's not an insult. Because, you know the rate 1 UAH  = 0.10 USD Approx.  Even though the IDR is more low than UAH. 1 UAH = 1.110 IDR. How Embarassing. Okay, that's it about my post. See ya next time!!

Country : Cyprus

This was the first coin from cyprus that i have it in my collection. I haven't cypriot coins before. If you look closely, you'll see it's circulated or commonly use in its country. Little bit fact about cyprus with its currency, when Cyprus has changed the euro. The Cypriot government adopted the euro as the national currency on 1 January 2008.The eurozone currently consists of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain. Most other EU states are obliged to join once they meet the criteria to do so. No state has left and there are no provisions to do so or to be expelled. In Obverse, you will see Cruciform idol from the Chalcolithic period (3000 BC). This characteristic example of the island’s prehistoric art reflects Cyprus’s place at the heart of civilisation and antiquity. Impressive!.p.s : I'm not always posting my collection to my blog everyday.

Mintage : 30,000,000
Country : New Zealand

This coin has minted by New Zealand during 2006 to 2011.The size of the 10¢ piece was too close to that of the dollar - so close, in fact, that it has been possible on occasion to put two 10c pieces in a parking meter together and receive one dollar worth of parking time, or jam the meter and make parking free anyway.  The Reverse of this coin is showing the A Māori koruru, or carved head. It's a artifacts and carvings of the Maori of New Zealand, It is sometimes assumed that every cut in a piece of Maori carving must have a meaning, but in fact probably much of it is purely decorative. And, the Obverseyou can see The head of the Elizabeth II Queen in a 4th portrait. And it is Lettering: NEW ZEALAND ELIZABETH II.
