Belgium



Since 1999 up to 2007, all the belgian coins depicts King Albert II and a monogram – a capital "A" underneath a crown – among 12 stars, symbolising Europe. The year of issue is part of the design, but unhappyly for us, few are the years with the 8 different currencies issued.

Ireland


Only one design, only one image, the Irish have their national symbol, the harp, on the reverse side of their coins. The biggest difficulty is to find the Irish 1,2 centimes and 1, 2 € coins here in Portugal.

------------------------Missing coins
I'm having some difficulty to find coins between 2006- 2007, and also the missing ones between 2003-2005. Now, there's less than 15 missing irish coins, thanks to the trade with James Crotty, from Ennis Co. Clare, Ireland.

Commemorative German Mecklenburg-Vorpommern -"F"


Issuance year - 2007
For me, one of the most beautiful coins and it shows a representation of the Schwerin Castle. The word "Mecklenburg-vorpommern" is inscribed underneath the castle and the engraver’s initials "HH" appear at the bottom of the inner part of the coin. One of the letters ’A - Berlin’, ’D - Munich’, ’F - Stuttgart’, ’G - Karlsruhe’ or ’J - Hamburg’ appears as the mintmark above the design.
30 millions have been issued and I have only this one with the letter "F" - Stuttgart, so I need someone to swap the missing ones for the portugueses coins or others.
