Gwyde Pillar of the Community Belgium 506 Posts	Posted 11/28/2013 6:57 pm 1981: with commodity markets shell shocked the previous year and precious metals completely out of their usual trading range, we didn't see too many beautiful commemoratives that year. Though many currencies were ravaged by inflation in the seventies, the circulation coinage had not yet been adapted. Coins were growing bulky, relative to their purchasing power. In the UK, 1981 marks the last year when "New Pence"/"New Penny" was mentioned on coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Gwyde Pillar of the Community Belgium 506 Posts	Posted 11/29/2013 4:01 pm Commemorative 500 Francs for the 150th anniversary of Belgian Independence. Obverse: The five Kings having reigned since 1830 This prooflike silver (0.510) coin is not very popular despite its low mintage, largely because of the common silver clad circulation commemorative which sells far below face value.

Gwyde Pillar of the Community Belgium 506 Posts	Posted 12/01/2013 5:59 pm 1978: you realize how long ago it is when finding coins of countries that no longer figure on the map. The example here is a 2 Mark coin of the former DDR. The lie was coined in the name, for 'Demokratisch' it wasn't in the least. (Something US citizens should remember, not allowing government to turn "Liberty" into a coined lie.) Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyJames Valued Member United States 211 Posts	Posted 12/02/2013 12:31 am I'll keep the subject on the DDR with a 1977 20 Mark commemorative. There have been a handful of Gauss commemoratives made, but this is the one with the best design. It showcases the Gaussian distribution function which is pervasive in all science, engineering, math, and statistics. Report this Post to the Staff
Gwyde Pillar of the Community Belgium 506 Posts	Posted 12/02/2013 06:21 am An magnificent coin, picturing the Gauss distribution. I remember seeing it also on the 10 DM banknotes by the end of the 20th century, but this design is outstanding. Report this Post to the Staff
