French 2011 silver 10-euro coin (from the Regions of France series) for the Limousin region:  The large building in the top right-hand corner of the reverse is Limoges-Benedictins train station. Here's a photo I took of it in 1997:

The Great Fire of London (1666) depicted on a commemorative 2016 British 2-pound coin:  The city, obviously, has changed dramatically since then. If you tried today to find the location depicted on the coin, you would see something like my photo below!
