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.

Commemorative French Rome Treaty



Issuance year - 2007, March
The coin depicted in the image is a result of my last coin exchange with Wendy. She sent me 22 coins, but about this one, who represents my 6th Treaty Of Rome, I must write "avec soupless", as it is from "République Française". It sure looks good in my collection, along with the other five. Muchas Gracias.

Malta





On 10 July 2007, the Council of the European Union approved Malta’s application to join the euro area on 1 January 2008. On 1 January 2008, the euro became legal tender in Malta replacing the Maltese lira. From 1 February 2008, only euro banknotes and coins can be used for cash payments in Malta.
A certain Rita from Malta, who needed the 2002 eight portuguese coins sent me this new, shining and wonderful 2008 UNC set in exchange for a trade. Thanks to her, now I only need someone from Cyprus for a similar swap.
The 1 and 2 € depicts the eight-pointed Maltese cross. The 10, 20 and 50 cent coins depicts the Maltese coat of arms, a shield with a heraldic representation of the Maltese flag, topped by a mural crown and bounded by two branches, an olive branch symbolizing peace and a palm frond representing the Maltese identity. The 1, 2 and 5 cent shows at the centre the altar at the prehistoric temple of Imnajdra (a Neolithic complex dating back to 3600 BC which is considered to be one of the oldest free-standing temple groupings in the world).

Commemorative Belgian Rome Treaty



Issuance year - 2007

Amazing. In only one day, two fabulous commemorative Belgium coins were added to my collection, due to a swap with a nice Wendy, from The Netherlands. "The Atomium" and this wonderful Rome Treaty, that shows the Treaty document signed by the six founding countries in 1957. Really fantastic. This Treaty of Rome coin is the third, but there is more. See the next posts.

Commemorative Spanish coin - 2

Issuance year - 2007
Due to a swap with a "friendly galego neighbor" from Spain, I already have this Rome Treaty from España to be side by side with the Portuguese one. But I'm still missing all the other eleven Rome Treaty coins from 11 countries. Isn't there anyone from these countries interested in swapping those coins by the two Portuguese ones, Rome Treaty or Portuguese Presidency of the European Union?

Commemorative German Schleswig-Holstein -"D"

Issuance year - 2006
For me, once more and again from Germany, one of the most beautiful commemorative coins. The Holstentor, the gate symbolising of the town of Lübeck, is show in the center. The words “Schleswig Holstein” link the Holstentor as the depicted construction with the federal state. The outer ring of the coin features the 12 stars of the EU, the year of issue 2006. These €2 commemorative coins are to be minted in equal quantities by all five German mints.
30 millions have been issued and I have only this one with the letter "D" - Munich, in my collection. I need the other 4. Who want's to swap them for portuguese coins or others?

Commemorative Greek Olympic Games

Issuance year - 2004
In August 2004, the Olympic Games returned to the country where they were born over 2,500 years ago, and to Athens the city of their revival in 1896. So the Greeks have issued 35.000.000 of this commemorative and wonderful coin.
Unhappyly, at this moment only one coin is available to swap.

Commemorative Italian World Food Program


Issued year - 2004, December
Once again, not a good photo for the commemorative italian "Fifth decade of the World Food" Program". The foreground shows the globe, tilted to the right and bearing the inscription ‘WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME’, from which emerges an ear of wheat, an ear of maize and an ear of rice, the three grains representing the world's basic sources of nourishment. Over 16.000.000 have been issued.

Commemorative Belgian coin


Issuance year - 2005
It's not a good photo of the effigies of Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg and King Albert II of Belgium. Not so pretty as the other ones, mainly because they are depicted in profile (from left to right) in the centre of the coin, above the year of issue, 2005.
The engraver's initials, ‘LL', appear to the lower right. The two effigies and the date are surrounded by the outer ring bearing the 12 stars of the EU and the monograms of Grand Duke Henri on the left and of King Albert II on the right.
Only one available for swap by other commmemorative missing coin.

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.
