I have just received the Turkey 2006 Solar Eclipse Coin from RenaL and I must say it is absolutely stunning!!! There is NOT a doubt in my mind this coin, if entered, will be an award winner in the 2008 Coin of the Year program which is held two years after a coins release. Turkey should make sure they get this coin in the competition as in is one of the most unique coins I have ever held. Outstanding craftsmanship and very eye appealling. Not to mention the fact I can now never forget the exact date in history of the 2006 total eclipse over Europe. Thank you RenaL for helping me add a very very unique coin to my world collection. The blacked out sun on this bimetallic coin is absolutely something to see!!! Thanks a million for your efforts on placing one in the U.S. and in my collection.

You're welcome Terry! Glad you liked it.

I haven't heard of the contest, maybe the guys in our mint consider that idea.

It looks like a bimetallic coin, but it is gold coated silver
I liked the idea that only we have such a commemorative:)

Terry you know where to find me if you need anything Turkish

I do agree that the pics don't do the justice on this coin.
