GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 06/28/2007 3:26 pm Yeah I know this is gonna take me a lifetime to complete. I am having a hard enough time with the Marshall Islands alone! Searching "10 euro finland 2005" with title and description doesn't seem to help me much on ebay. Report this Post to the Staff
humpybong Pillar of the Community Australia 1262 Posts	Posted 06/28/2007 10:38 pm I will have most of the "Aussie" ones at home. Are you after circulated or UNC coins. Report this Post to the Staff
GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 06/28/2007 10:46 pm Am looking for either. However most Commemoratives are normally UNC and Proof. What other ones besides the 4 listed above are there? I am trying to mooch off of everyones vast knowledge instead of scanning every page in my Krause. And not to mention the Unusual Krause. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 06/29/2007 04:55 am Perth Mint just released a very "Marshall-Islands-like" set of five 1 ounce silver coins in the name of Tuvalu, featuring Fighting Ships of WWII. They're colorized, and at AU$400 for the set of five, not cheap. Nice enough if you're into that theme, I suppose. A couple more Australian WWII-themed coins which come to mind (there are probably others): - bimetallic $5 2002 for the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Sunda Strait, featuring the ship's bell from the USS Houston. It comes in "Australian packaging" and "American packaging". - non-circulating commemorative $1 2000 featuring the Australian naval ship HMAS Sydney II. A famous WWII themed coin is the British 50p 1994 for the 50th anniversary of D-Day. IIRC, it won awards for best coin design of the year and that sort of thing. There's also a whole bunch of French coins in the 1990's with themes like the D-Day Landings, Liberation of Paris and a set of Allied generals and political leaders. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

spica Valued Member France 285 Posts	Posted 06/29/2007 07:31 am 2005 Belarus coin commemorating 60 years of victory There are French silver coins too commemorating WWII of sure Report this Post to the Staff
GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 06/29/2007 12:09 pm Oh man those are beautiful! I don't believe I have a single Belarus coin for some weird reason. Hard thing with these is translating them to find out what they are Commemorating....if anything Report this Post to the Staff
chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 07/01/2007 07:23 am Maybe because Belarus does not issue any "regular" (circulation) coins, only such commems ... In Europe the theme of the 2005 eurostar series was 60 years of peace, so each participating country also issued a coin on that occasion. Then again, most of those issues are not exactly battle or victory themed. Here is a neat one from the Monnaie de Paris, with "Europe makes peace" on one side, and "Peace makes Europe" on the other: Christian Report this Post to the Staff

augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1063 Posts	Posted 07/10/2007 09:27 am There are a few british coins commemorating WW2. The churchill crown could be said to be a WW2 commenmorative as he did not do anything else really. There is a dove gold coloured 2 pound coin from 1995, which has something to do with peace. There is also the 2005 st paul's cathedral coin. http://i24.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/a8/b7/2e56_1_b.jpg http://i23.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/99/bc/6bf2_1.jpg http://i17.ebayimg.com/02/i/05/17/f6/78_1_b.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 07/10/2007 10:05 am Canada also issued a couple in 2005 - a set of six 50c coins like this one http://www.colonialacres.com/images/2005_6coin.jpg commemorating the Battle of Britain, Liberation of the Netherlands, Conquest of Sicily, Battle of the Scheldt, Raid on Dieppe, Battle of the Atlantic. Another interesting Canadian issue is this 25c coin http://www.colonialacres.com/images...rland25c.jpg ... which the Royal Dutch Mint sold as part of a set, along with eight euro circulation coins and a medal.
