For example, and another example. Yeah, just bizzare.

Could be right. It's possible it just fell out the mint as there's a mark in front of Britannia's helmet.

A recent addition and it will do as my type example for now.

It's now been withdrawn! A brief email would've been nice, Semra? At the very least it will have saved the cataloguer, photographer, and general LC machine, from a mildly embarrassing return, surely?

This is one of the Czech coins, the 50 Kč (50 Koruna) coin. I believe it was minted in 1993, as thats what it shows under the lion, but the year 1993 is also when these types of coins were first minted (got that from wikipedia). 1993 is the only date on the coin, so I am probably correct. The 50 Kč coin is the highest value of coin used in the Czech Republic/Czechia. If you look closely, notice parts of the lion in the outer section. I don't know why that is like that, but it's not an error they are all like that. The Czechs have an agreement to change to the euro, but they haven't changed yet, so Czech coins might be something to collect in the near future. *Edit* Whilst being a modern coin, it's got some sort of beauty that most modern coins lack. I like that

No MIke, That isn't mine. Yours has a little better shield, than mine had.

That guy's prices are always very high. Same guy that takes pictures of pictures on his computer screen to use in the listing, which baffles me.

I think for beauty combined with a few thoughts as to how it was made, you have to look at ancients. Super detail that had to be made without recourse to a magnifying glass when engraving the dies. I have put up the Epaticcus Boar's Head before which is only 8mm diameter, but you could equally choose any one of many early works of art.
