2 Euro 2008


Description : 2 Euro 2008
Mintage : 25,070,000
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.

10 Cents 2009 - Elizabeth II (4th Portrait)


Description : 10 Cents - Elizabeth II
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.

Description : 20 Kroner 1999 - Leif Ericson (VINLAND)
Mintage : 1,048,700
Country : Norway

For the first, I'm sorry i'm too lazy to post the collection of mine,but today i'm back again. This coin was celebrating about 1000th anniversary of Leif Ericson in North america. This is the part of my coin collection. In 1963, the U.S. Representative from Duluth, John Blatnik, introduced a bill to observe Leif Erikson Day nationwide. The following year Congress adopted this unanimously. In 1964, the United States Congress authorized and requested the President to create the observance through an annual proclamation. Lyndon B. Johnson and each President since have done so. It's so fantastic to me. all Around of this coin is Unc, That's why i like it. The value of this coin is $7. Happy New Year!!
