Kenya 10c, first issue (the other denominations of the first were similar):


Someone mentioned the Belgian 50 centimes upthread; the same applies to the 10 francs of the 1970s/80s:


Slightly stretching the concept of circulation coins, but as you do occasionally see them in use, I thought I'd include it: the 1995 UK £2 commemorating the 50th anniversary of the end of WW2:

The Belgian 10 francs still has some small, not very visible lettering: just beneath the bust of king Bauduin, you can find the designer's name: H. Elstrom.

Looks like the rather boring Malaysian set due out in 2012 is going to maintain the tradition of having one side text- and numeral-free.

Interestingly the central bank calls that "text and numeral free" side the obverse. :) By the way, the 50 sen coin does have digits and characters - somewhat hidden though: The latent image (which the other three denominations do not have) says either "50" or "SEN" depending on the viewing angle ...

President Paul Kruger on the obverse of a Z.A.R. two shillings of 1897. On some of the Republic's denominations, but not all, there was a legend along with his portrait.

A collage of several elements. In the foreground is a (horse?) drawn plough, in the background front may be a small steel plant, while the far background seems to show oil crackers. The picture makes more sense as the equivalent of the hammer and sickle logo: agriculture and industry.

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

The reverses of Singapore's first set of circulation coins, issued in 1967, are all bare of text and numerals.
