On December 1, 2008 was issued the last Slovak commemorative coin of an unusual nominal value 1000 SK. This exceptional silver coin commemorates the existence of Slovak Crow currency, which was replaced by a new euro currency since January 2009.

In his latest, author and attorney Noles (Twenty-Three Minutes to Eternity: The Final Voyage of the Escort Carrier USS Liscome Bay) looks at the 50 State Quarters Program, which, over about ten years, has issued a quarter commemorating each state with a different design. Organized by issue date, each state quarter is given a few pages of background information, including the date of release, the number initially minted and the reasons behind its design. His work is full of information for both novice coin collectors and average Joes, and his otherwise dry account benefits occasionally from witty chapter subtitles and gentle mockery (Wisconsin's state motto, "Forward!", appears to be exhorting a cow head, ear of corn and cheese round "to move along"). While some may assume that there is little mystery behind the state quarters series, Noles finds much to inform, and occasionally startle, making each entry a quick, fulfilling slice of American history. 50 b&w photos |

The daily bad tidings of economic crisis that continue to haunt the world in the media were far from visible at the World Money Fair in Berlin. 12,600 visitors – a slight increase on the previous year’s figures – came to the three-day event at the Estrel Hotel and Convention Center, Berlin.
|
Some experts in the coin market had expressed fears in the run-up to the fair that prices for high-end coins might drop slightly. Their fears proved to be unfounded. Virtually no other market is as healthy as the coin market! The historically still significant Polish gold ducat which was issued in 1658 to mark the liberation of the city of Torun was sold for 115,000 euros.

Dear collector,
on the occasion of the 675th anniversary of promotion Kremnica to a free royal town and establishment of Kremnica Mint was issued a set of silver replicas of Karol Robert's coins. Since by the production of coins were partially used original techniques - same as in the past, the coins differ in individual sizes and weights. The mentioned inaccuracies reflect the quality in which the coins used to be produced (hand made production, using hammer). We used silver (Ag 925/1000) as the material for production of coins, florins are gold plated. Dies were hand made by Kremnica's engraver Jan Alleram.
The replicas were made in limited edition of 250 pcs, with certificate.
Florén 21mm, 3.5 g, Groš SP 26mm, 3.4 g,Denár SP 16mm, 0.60 g
Obol SP 9mm, 0.30 g
We offer you the replicas of Karol Robert coins for a special price only 56 EUR.
Code of product: 671133
With over 1,200 pages, this hardcover volume covers gold coins, date-by-date, from the 1500s to present, including palladium, platinum and off-metal sister issues. Complete date/mint listings, actual weights, current values in five grades of condition, along with crisp obverse and reverse photos help make this extraordinary volume the most desired coin reference available.
