Each set has 8 different coins One set is from 2004 the other one is from 2005! I have found similar coins and some info about them, but they don't look exactly like these. It seems like they could be worth some money so I'm really curious about them. The pictures is from one of the coins. I would be really happy if someone can tell me something about these. Sorry if my english is bad, from Sweden:) Report this Post to the Staff

Amazon93 New Member Sweden 6 Posts	Posted 12/08/2013 06:45 am Thanks for reply. I have a certificate and I know for a fact that the vatican issued euro coins between 2002-2005 that you could only get if you bought a collection set. I understand your suspicion since these appear to be fairly uncommon. On the certificate it says 30 000 sets made for 2004, I don't know how many was made 2005. The man on these coins depict Johannes paul II (Pope) Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 12/08/2013 07:16 am My question is, who issued them according to the certificate? There are well known fantasy euro coins. If they are made by British International Numismatic Agency or some smaller mints, they are not the official release. More information here: http://chiefacoins.com/Database/Mic...Patterns.htm My partial coin collection http://www.omnicoin.com/collection/gxseries My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.

jgfindring Rest in Peace United States 1380 Posts	Posted 12/08/2013 11:38 am Because they say "essai" and "probe" on them, they are not official, legal tender Euro coins. They are made / sold by someone other than the Vatican and are basically fantasy coins made for tourists, the gullible or people who can't afford the official versions who want a place filler. Usual secondary market price seems to be about $10 to $20 for an eight coin set. Report this Post to the Staff

Could be GÃ¶de/MÃ¼nzkontor, see http://www.muenzkontor.de/ - but I am not sure. Christian Report this Post to the Staff
