@triggersmob: Nice variety! Thanks for posting!
If you didn't know what you were looking for, you'd overlook Columbus' signature. Very different from most!.

Another from the modern series of US Commemorative Coins - the 2009 Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial silver Dollar. The coin was issued to mark the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th US President and is generally considered one of the US' finest presidents. A facsimile of Lincoln's signature is seen on the coin's reverse, presented within the center section of the ribbon found along the coin's bottom rim. The signature is found at the six o'clock position. Justine Kuz was the deisgner of the obverse (it was engraved/sculpted by Don Everhart); Phebe Hemphill designed and engraved the reverse design. 2009 Abraham Lincoln Birth Bicentennial Silver Dollar

2005 Austria 2 euros - Austrian State Treaty  The centre of the coin shows the signatures in the Austrian State Treaty, which was signed by the foreign ministers and ambassadors of the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and France, and by Leopold Figl, Foreign Minister of Austria, in May 1955.

Quote: 2005 Austria 2 euros - Austrian State Treaty Good one! Makes you wonder which coin out there features the largest number of legible signatures? This one with nine?

One more from the modern US Commemorative Coin series - the 2022 Negro Leagues Baseball gold Half Eagle. The gold piece is part of a three-coin set struck to mark the centennial of the establishment of the Negro Leagues baseball association in the US. The formal/organized Negro Leagues were operational from 1920 through 1951 - Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in 1947 with the Brooklyn Dodgers began a talent drain within the league by Major League Baseball (MLB) and signaled "the end" for high-level Negro Leagues baseball. The obverse design of the coin presents a three-quarter, front-facing portrait of Negro League founder Rube Foster. Foster's signature is seen near the rim, between the four o'clock and six o'clock positions. The coin's reverse presents a zoomed in view of a player tipping his cap as a sign of respect. Laurie Musser, of the Mint's Artistic Infusion Program, designed the obverse; Phebe Hemphill handled the sculpting. Donna Weaver, also of the Mint's Artistic Infusion Program, designed the reverse; Eric David Custer was responsible for the reverse design's sculpting. 2022 Negro Leagues Baseball Centennial Gold Half Eagle (Image Credit: US Mint, https://www.usmint.gov. I haven't puiled the trigger yet!)
