On 9th October 1858 in Edo, France and Japan concluded a treaty of "paix, commerce et amitié" (peace, trade and friendship, note the order) that allowed France a diplomatic representation in Japan. The relation was at first on a consular level.
So if I understand correctly, the only connection that the kan'ei tsuho coin has is that it was current in Japan at the time of the treaty. Wonder if Japan will produce a commemorative showing a 10c coin of Napoleon III in response? |

The MdP made three different designs for the France-Japan year. But the two others do not depict coins; one shows a famous portrait of an actor (Ichikawa Ebizo IV), the other one features Delacroix's "La Liberté guidant le peuple".
In 2000 the French mint did a whole series of commems dedicated to the history of French money. Nine different types, Celtic, Carolingian, Marianne, etc. That is a series that I do not have, and so far I have not found pics online ...

Don't forget that the Ukraine also issued a medal-coin depicting coins - of the Hryvnia & Kopiyok currency system.

It is discussed elsewhere, but it belongs in this thread as well. The first picture is the coin-on-a-coin, the second the original, which is slightly more expensive    Peter |

I have a fairly extensive Austrian coin collection (no nah)  However that 50 Schilling Bimetallic coin is one I do not have. I forgot that I had not completed (nearly complete) that series untill I saw that image. I guess I better find one  Dale Here is a piece from Austria, with four images of coins from the schilling years:   Christian |

Does this count? The ram design from the Australian shilling was deliberately copied onto the 1991 50 cent coin. The ram was an actual prize-winning individual, with his own name, which eludes me unfortunately.

Strictly speaking it does not count, as what is depicted on the coin is not a coin. But as this is a commem which explicitly refers to the introduction of the new currency, it is OK here.  We could also add several Polish commems here: 2 zl 2004: 1 and 2 zl 1924/25 2 zl 2005: Sailing Vessel - 2 and 5 zloty 1936 2 zl 2006: 10 zloty 1932 2 zl 2007: 5 zloty 1928 (Nike) The first three are depicted in the attached image. In 2009 Poland issued a "180 Years of Central Banking in Poland" commem; see a large image here: http://www.nbp.pl/banknoty/kolekcjonerskie/2009/180_lat_2r.jpg (By the way, these are the 2 zl coins only; the mint also made silver collector coins, with different designs, on these occasions.)

Of course. If only to remind me that the original is one of the few holes in my Poland collection  Peter |
