Post Your Coins And Medals With Bridges

Thank you, jbuck Errers and commems! I neglected to post a picture of the Charles Bridge in Prague which is depicted on the Bohemia and Moravia 10 Haleru. Construction of the bridge began in 1357 under the auspices of Charles IV and was finished in 1402.

edited to add picture of coin.

Nice examples, commems, and Hondo Boguss.

Construction timelines have changed a bit since the 14th Century! (Thankfully!)

Thanks for sharing!

Here's a 1992 silver 25-cent coin from Canada; it was released as part of Canada's "Canada 125" commemorative coin program that celebrated the 125th Anniversary of Canadian Confederation. The design was also released as a circulating commemorative coin.

The coin's commemorative reverse depicts a covered bridge, built in 1910, that is located in Newton, New Brunswick - the bridge crosses Smith Creek and is 92 feet in length; it's design is typical of other area bridges.

There are 58 covered bridges in New Brunswick - the iconic symbols are popular tourist attractions.

On a personal note: The first coin club talk I ever gave was a presentation on the "Canada 125" Set - the Circulation Set. It was not until years later that I picked up one of the silver sets.
