Commemorative Coins: Summer Olympic Coins, Winter Olympic Coins, Shooting Thaler, Commemorative Coins of Bulgaria $19.49 Chapters: Summer Olympic Coins. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 220. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Although the first Olympic coin can be traced back to 480 BC, the modern Olympics did not see its first commemoratives until 1951. The original concept of Olympic coins was that the Greeks believed that coins brought the general public closer to the Olympic games. The premise was that those who could not attend the games could at least have a tangible souvenir of the event. In 1951, the government of Finland authorized the striking of the first modern Olympic coin, a 500 Markkaa. At first, the coins circulated as currency in the issuing country and the mintages were high. In borrowing from the traditions of ancient Greece, the coins were a memento of the 1951 Games, and a coin that numismatists could now add to their collection. With the exception of Canadas Lucky Loonie program and its 2007 25-cent pieces to commemorate the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, it is rare that Olympic coins are minted for circulation. Traditionally, Olympic coins are numismatic coins. Specifications Dimensions Specifications Dimensions Specifications Dimensions Specifications Dimensions During the release of the first four series, a controversy was generated over the legend. The use of the legend, IN DEUTSCHLAND was a point of tension for East Germany. The point was raised that the legend should have read In Munchen. The legend was changed for Series Five.

Euro Gold and Silver Commemorative Coins (Belgium) $95.59 Euro gold and silver commemorative coins are special euro coins minted and issued by member states of the Eurozone, mainly in gold and silver, although other precious metals are also used in rare occasions. Belgium was one of the first twelve countries in the Eurozone that introduced the euro () on 1 January 2002. Since then, the Belgian Royal Mint have been minting both normal issues of Belgian euro coins, which are intended for circulation, and commemorative euro coins in gold and silver. These special coins have a legal tender only in Belgium, unlike the normal issues of the Belgian euro coins, which have a legal tender in every country of the Eurozone. This means that the commemorative coins made of gold and silver cannot be used as money in other countries. Furthermore, as their bullion value generally vastly exceeds their face value, these coins are not intended to be used as means of payment at allalthough it remains possible. For this reason, they are usually named Collectors coins. The coins usually commemorate the anniversaries of historical events or draw attention to current events of special importance.

Coins, Art and Chronology II: The First Millennium C.E. in the Indo-Iranian Borderlands $165.1 The pre-Islamic history of southern Central Asia-modern Afghanistan, Pakistan, northern India and the surrounding areas-continues to pose challenging problems that can be solved only through interdisciplinary efforts. In the tradition of "Coins, Art and Chronology" (1999), this volume comprises 24 articles by leading experts in the fields of history, art history, numismatics, archaeology and linguistics in order to document the current state of research and presents the results of two international conferences at Kyoto and Vienna in autumn 2008. While the first "Coins, Art and Chronology" concentrated on the period of the Kushanas and the Sasanians, this volume explores the post-Kushana period and questions concerning the Hunnic and Turkic phases in the history of the region, the main focus of most of the contributions. The volume is published within the framework of the National Research Network "The Cultural History of the Western Himalaya from the 8th Century," financed by the Austrian Science Funds. Die vorislamische Geschichte des sudlichen Zentralasien, einer Region, welche heutzutage Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nordindien und angrenzende Gebiete umfasst, wirft immer noch komplexe Fragen auf, die sich nur durch das interdisziplinare Zusammenwirken unterschiedlicher Facher losen lassen. Als Tagungsband zweier internationaler Kongresse in Kyoto und Wien im Herbst 2008 versammelt das vorliegende Buch in der Tradition des 1999 erschienenen Bandes Coins, Art and Chronology 24 Beitrage fuhrender Spezialisten aus Geschichte, Kunstgeschichte, Numismatik, Archaologie und Linguistik und dokumentiert damit den derzeitigen Forschungsstand. Wahrend der erste Band von Coins, Art and Chronology sich hauptsachlich auf die Perioden der Kushan und der Sasaniden konzentriert hatte, bilden hier die Zeit nach den Kushan und die Fragen rund um die sogenannten Iranischen Hunnen den Hauptfokus der meisten Beitrage. |

Illustrated Catalog of Chinese Coins, Vol. 1 $29.9 Eduard Kann (1880-1962) was the world's leading authority on Chinese coins and on the Chinese monetary system. He was a banker who lived in China for 47 years, during which he both collected coins and served as a top adviser to the ministry that controlled the Chinese monetary system. He writes that "I had to leave China in a hurry" during the takeover by Mao in 1949. The New York Times for May 23, 1971, page D37, reports: "The finest collection of Chinese coins is] the collection of Eduard Kann, a banker who lived in China for 47 years. During his long numismatic career, Mr. Kann compiled the Catalog of Chinese Coins which was published in 1953." This book does not merely contain pictures of the coins and descriptions thereof. Included are biographies of the emperors, war lords, and sometimes even petty bureaucrats whose likenesses were depicted on these coins. Included are biographies of men whose identities have otherwise been lost to history. Thus, this book is must reading not only for coin collectors but for serious students of the history of China. The massive original was one volume of 700 pages in length. This reprint divides the book into three volumes. The photographs and illustrations that are at the end of the book in the original have been moved up to be next to or close to the coins that are being described. As China was not a unified country at that time, this book is divided into regions and into the type of metal, Gold, Silver, Nickel and Aluminum, that was used to make the coins. This first volume starts at the beginning and ends with Silver Szechuen Rupees of 1912. |

Coins of the Ancient World: History's Priceless Treasures $65.21 A fascinating introduction to ancient coins and collecting that is both an art book and an initiation. Who has never dreamed of taking a close look, or perhaps even handling-or, still better, actually owning-a priceless coin of the ancient world? Minted in electrum, gold, silver, or bronze, coins were once the booty of conquest, the substance of princely, royal, and imperial treasures, and are now the pride of the world's major museums. The collection illustrated and discussed in this book is a fine demonstration of what can be accomplished through individual interest, effort, and patience, plus an awareness that leaves room for spontaneous impulses when guided by adequate advice and documented counsel. The result is an accumulated heritage that can be bequeathed to future generations. The collector known as JDL has always been drawn to beauty and exemplarity, his choices have been guided by balance and harmony. Here he presents us with remarkable evidence of the genius of master engravers of the ancient world who, inspired by the muses, were the first to forge monetary art and techniques. The examples illustrated here also reflect another penchant of the man who collected them-a love of travel, a desire to explore the ancient world from one end to the other. The geographical scope of this collection adds further coherence to a set of coins that covers a thousand-year period starting at the very dawn of coinage in the sixth century BCE. |

State of Israel Coins Joshua Bronze Medal $181.09 In the Midrash it is told that four leading biblical personalities Abraham Joshua David and Mordechai had coins issued in their honor and through these coins each of them gained world renown. The word used by the Midrash for Coin is the word Monitin and interestingly this appears to be the root of the words Money Monnaie and Moneta that stem from Latin. In modern Hebrew the word Monitin denotes good reputation . The Midrash also describes the designs that appeared on each side of the coins. Israel Government Coins and Medals Corporation has chosen to strike the coins described in the Midrash on medals. Art Students of the Emunah Academy for Women Jerusalem have been invited to submit designs and the winning designs have been chosen out of those submitted. First in the series was the Abraham and Sarah Medal that was introduced in our last promotion. This came in a Set Presentation Box designed to hold all the four medals in the series. Each of the medal versions of this medal are still available and the whole series may be ordered on a standing order basis. We now proudly present the Joshua Medal. The firstling of his herd grandeur is his and his horns are like the horns of a wild ox... is the blessing bestowed upon the Tribe of Joseph by Moses before his death. Joshua came from the Tribe of Ephraim the son of Joseph. These are the elements on the Joshua Coin described by the Mishnah. The ox signifies the strength of Joshua and the horns of the antelope his majesty and courage. Joshua was the leader who succeeded in his mission despite the hardships and quarrels of the people. In face of the enemy nevertheless he remained steadfast like the horns of the antelope . These two aspects of his personality are expressed on the two sides of the medal. Obverse:.
