1 Saajjj
Two more magnificent coins sent by Wendy, from Netherlands, in our last swap. Now, my 1st and 2nd 2009 German Bunsdesland series coins (4th of 16) and they feature Ludwig Church in Saarbrücken with mintmarks "D" - Munich and "F" - Stuttgart.

Germany started the commemorative coin series "Die 16 Bundesländer der Bundesrepublik Deutschland" (The 16 States of the Federal Republic of Germany) in 2006. One coin representing a German state will be issued per year between 2006 and 2021 and will coincide with that state's presidency of the 'Bundesrat'.

See last post and the next ones...

Belgium - 2008 New Series

Another month, another swap with Wendy from The Netherlands. Among others she sent me 2 (2 € and 50 cent) shining 2008 Belgian coins (in 2008, Belgium slightly modified the design, although all the coins still depicts King Albert II).

Thanks.

Crosses, Castles and Mountains

The 8 (x3) slovakian beauties, depicted in the image are the result of my last exchange, this time from a Slovakian collector, Michal. Thanks.

On January 1, 2009, The Slovak Republic, also known as Slovakia, became the newest nation to join the Euro. The 1 and 2 € coins depict a double cross on three hills, as featured in the national emblem of Slovakia. The 10, 20 and 50 centimes coins show Bratislava castle and the national emblem of Slovakia. The 1, 2 and 5 cent coins feature the Tatra Mountains’ peak, Kriváň, a symbol of the sovereignty of the Slovak nation, and the national emblem of Slovakia.
