Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 9:20 pm As a new collector, I am struck by the artistic beauty of some coins, especially those which are not circular which intrigue me. So why not put on show those unusual shaped coins for all to enjoy? Limits: must be metal, non-circular, and used as money at some time and place anywhere in the world. To start the ball rolling: 1956 - 2 Anna coin, India ( 25.2mm diagonal, 5.7g ) Report this Post to the Staff

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 03/01/2012 10:09 pm , Anaximander! side note: I countries with low literacy, coins are often given odd shapes to help identify them. holed coins are counted on spikes with spacers, instead of rolls. Report this Post to the Staff

Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 03/03/2012 11:38 am That Estonian coin is amazing. How big is it? 10 Krooni seems a low value for such an elaborate coin. Does it commemorate something? Some amazing coins here- thanks everyone and lets see some more. Report this Post to the Staff
