This coin type is hard enough to find as it is. In this condition, it is a little miracle.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Three "globe" coins from around here ... First, every 1, 2 and 5 cent coin from the euro area has a globe. (Image: ECB)

This is a German €10 collector coin, issued in 2004 for the FIFA 2006 World Cup. I like how the little football orbits around the planet. :)

A few other football coins have similar globe designs. Now look at this one, issued in 2016 (image: Fenzl). This was the initial issue for the Climate Zones series.

Not a coin, but I medal I bought a few hours ago. Believed to date from around 1820, it has Australia listed as New Holland and Tassie as Van Diemens Land. Eimer 1139, seller's images.

Yes, this is a good medal, and I noticed that there are many interesting names, especially for islands in the ocean, and some of the names have not been used for a long time or have changed.

I suppose the catalogue reference is to either An introduction to Commemorative Medals or British Commemorative Medals and their values. In the second case it would be British and the Dutch names would be somewhat strange for 1820. In the first case it could hail from anywhere.

A clever design, Christian. I like it.
