Silver Commemorative

The Australian Kangaroo Gold Coin is a unquestionably awesome twenty-four karat gold coin. It was launched in 1986 from the Aussie government owned company, The Gold Corporation. Struck by the Perth Mint which is situated in Western Australia, it was comprised of .9999 fine gold bullion like other gold coins available on the market. At the same time, a couple of unique characteristics quickly placed it apart from the rest of the pack:

1. It had a special two-tone frosted design.

2. Each coin was separately encapsulated in a circular, hard plastic case.

This is rather unusual for any standard price gold bullion coin. Both of these unique elements immediately placed the coin as being a fantastic value!

From 1986 through 1988, back side of the coin featured a picture of a renowned gold nugget - the Welcome Stranger nugget. This 2,284 oz nugget, discovered in Western Australia in 1869, was the largest gold nugget ever discovered.

I guess gold nuggets are not familiar to any one that doesn't live in Australia (looks like a lump of dirt in my opinion!), considering that this specific reverse image ended up being changed in 1989. From this date forward, the reverse image has featured a picture of a different kangaroo, an Aussie icon which is more recognizable! Furthermore, using the Kangaroo as a portrait tends to make far more sense since the actual name of the coin is the Australian gold Kangaroo.

Even though a gold nugget is no longer displayed on the coin, the term "NUGGET" was still being placed on the front (obverse) of the coin until 2008. Furthermore, the coins were actually still referred to as Kangaroo Nuggets until lately.

I believe what truly makes this particular coin well worth buying, over similar popular gold bullion coins such as Canadian gold Maple Leafs, American gold Eagles, or South African gold Krugerrands is without question the uniqueness aspect.

1. In addition to the Chinese gold Panda coin, the Australian Gold Kangaroo is the only additional bullion coin where the design changes each year. On the other common gold bullion coins, just the date changes as opposed to the design.

2. In addition, you have the added added bonus of a really low yearly mintage, compared to the various other common gold bullion coins. This adds to its interest to not only bullion investors but collectors also.

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.

Biedermann amp; Sons D2008S Christmas Commemorative Silver Snowflake Ornament $49.4 More than 800 years ago the village of Schwaebisch Gmuend was founded by the Kings of Staufen who were responsible for settling this region known for its artisans specializing in the production of gold silver and brass jewelry as well as decorative ornaments. These works of art were shipped to markets in Italy and Western Europe. The tradition in metal arts survives today in this medieval walled town located near Stuttgart Germany. For generations families have engaged in ornament cutting designing their own unique decorations to give friends and relatives as gifts during the holiday season. The Biedermanns originated the creation of a single Christmas ornament commemorating each year drawing on the talent from this region. In the fall of 1970 we contacted several artisan families who among them designed and cut the first ornament which depicted the town square of Schwaebisch Gmuend. Since that first edition each year a group of artists has selected a single design from those submitted by the townspeople and the ornament to be cut for the coming season is chosen. This is now a tradition that the people of Schwaebisch Gmuend and America cherish. Designs through the years have been selected from those created by school children and adults. Our Master Cutter Georg Neumaier directs the production of the Biedermann Commemorative Ornament and is also involved in selecting the years winning design. The now very valuable original brass ornament was supplemented in 1984 by our first edition silverplated ornament. Beginning in 1987 alternate years depict the story of The Twelve Days of Christmas. Nineteen ninetyeight began the first edition of the Christmas Quotations Series of ornaments. We take pride in offering the Biedermann Commemorative Ornaments to you the collector and to all connoisseurs of tasteful high quality craftsmanship. Since 1970 the Biedermann Commemorative Christmas Ornaments have been handmade by the artisans of Schwaebisch Gmuend Germany for centuries
