I've seen a few albums made for the commemorative coins. Most albums that I have seen present them as single denomination only. I felt there are some coins that look better as a set such as 2005 WWII, 2016 decimal commemorative coins. Dansco has made an Australian Type set album but I believe they were last made around 1970s and there is no updated version.

This is a set for circulated commemorative coins. Most of the coin images are from RAM or from numista. I'm sure there are room for improvement as I had to do some creative shuffling to make the design work.

Let me know what you think.

Small images and have included larger image

Yes, looks great. I would certainly like to see such an album created. Hope it becomes a reality. Well done!

Ooooh.....think you might have hit a nerve with some collectors by putting the 2012 Red poppy in as a circulated commemorative coin.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. Took some time for me to design this.

I knew I forgot something which is the French Olympic coin set. I'm sure there will be more coins to come later in the year anyway... I should also add some extra text for the Big Things. Was a bit tricky to try to map the coins to the locations. I think it's a missed opportunity as there are definitely more big things to be added. Maybe I shouldn't give RAM ideas...

crab eater - I had real dilemma over how to present the red poppy coins. But considering the mintage of the coin hunt and big things to be lower than the red poppy - I had to include it! The last four pages are designed as optional... I read on here that some forum members have also found them in circulation.

Looks impressive nonetheless.
