Well, the reverse has the silhouettes of two people, but I'm assuming this will count  . 2002 Dutch 10 euro coin commemorating the marriage of Prince Willem-Alexander and Maxima. Their silhouettes are on the reverse, Queen Beatrix on the obverse. I've found the design of this sort of interesting with the concentric but offset circles on both the obverse and reverse. A Dutch friend gave this to me during my last year in The Netherlands; it's been beat up a bit as he had carried it as a pocket piece for a little while... The inscription on the reverse (Twee Twee Tweeduizend Twee) is the marriage date - 2/2/2002.  Edited by hokiefan_82

Fantastic examples!  Quote:
Cook, no doubt, is a major design element not a background fill-in! I appreciate the confirmation!  |

Here's an Isle of Man coin from 1976 - one of several the island nation issued in recognition of the US Bicentennial. It's a One Crown copper-nickel coin that features Queen Elizabeth II on its obverse and George Washington, the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War (and future first US President) on its reverse.

This seems to be a Civil War token - am I correct?

Baker 6 Double Head Washington Token
Obverse: WASHINGTON
Reverse: ONE CENT
Weight: 122.6 g (7.94 grams) Diameter: 27.4 mm
Comments: This coin is listed by Vlack as 28-Y and by Fuld as WA.NC.1783.24. Note the obverse bust is closer to the legend than the reverse. The busts are almost identical and closely imitate the Washington Large Military Bust Token, except the large bust token has a button on the collar whereas this variety has a plain collar

The new JC effigy on the obverse and the previous IRB effigy on the other obverse. Well played. |
