Dagaz Valued Member Slovenia 459 Posts	Posted 11/22/2015 06:40 am Earlier this month Bank of Slovenia issued a commemorative 2 € coin. Look for a moment at this picture: It's supposed to read EMONA or AEMONA with latin number MM for 2000. But ... Everytime I look at this coin I see words EMO MAN. And I'm not the only one. So instead of 2000 years of a city, the coin commemorates an emo superhero At least for some of us. More info on the coin: https://www.bsi.si/en/banknotes-and...?MapaId=1676 It surprises me that this alterantive reading was not addressed earlier in the process... What do you guys think? What do you see? Edited by Dagaz 11/22/2015 06:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 11/22/2015 10:24 am EMO MAN at first glance... then I re-read and it says E MOAN... in any case I don't like the design, it is unclear and unimaginative, not to forget un-artistic. Report this Post to the Staff
Dagaz Valued Member Slovenia 459 Posts	Posted 11/22/2015 10:57 am Collects82: Haha, you made me laugh! Yes, it would be a stroy of self-exploration and trial. :) Overall I agree - not only is it unclear, it's also bad designed. But that's not new for Slovenian 2€ CC coins. On a more positive note, I kind of like this one though: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces11131.html Report this Post to the Staff
Hello There Pillar of the Community United States 1191 Posts	Posted 11/22/2015 4:25 pm I keep reading it as EMO EAN. Not sure if that means anything. Report this Post to the Staff
willieboyd2 Pillar of the Community United States 525 Posts	Posted 11/22/2015 7:27 pm Clockwise from top it is "MONAE". https://www.brianrxm.com The Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin Coins in Movies Coins on Television Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 11/22/2015 10:05 pm I would have imposed my own expectations on it and read it as "MONETA". But then, I've always found Slovenian coin art to be... well, way over my head. I'm more of a "literalist". 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
