Some very nice designs.
Renal, are any of these coins going into circulation?
-
I like all of the new coins but like the bi-metallic coins more, RenaL
Thanks for showing them.
-
None of them are intended for circulation Steve.
The Eagle/Vulture and the Turltle & Elphant coins are intended to draw attention from younger collectors, because they are almost circulation denomination, but they are also collector items, limited strikes.
-
Hello RenaL......how can I obtain a couple of each of the bi-metallic coins.
Is there a website that I can purchase them.....what is the cost of each?
-
Those two coins are limited editions, 5000 each and I am allowed to buy only 5 of each.
According to the agreement between TR Mint and a German company, the coins were released in Germany last October, and www.pfalzmuenzen.de sells them at 9,5 Euros, I don't know if they have a limit. (http://www.pfalzmuenzen.de/Europa_ohne_GUS/1179_Tuerkei_2009_2_x_1_Lira_BimetallSondermuenzen_Elefant_und_Schildkroete/cda00df53b2d43b86154154df83e1a91/)
The Eagle coin is also a product of such an agreement, I believe a Dutch company.
100.000 of the coins are exported and the domestic strikes are limited to 20.000 pcs.
Barry, check you email;)

Thanks for sharing :)

Nice coins Renal,
I quite liked the Bronze 1430th anniversary of Hijra.
I also thought I'd drop in on the Mint site. Unfortunately its in Turkish and the English Button didn't work.
-
They renewed the website recently, the English part should work soon.
-
We have a couple of new coins since the last time I visited the castle.
Most of them are still collectors' editions, two are commemorative circulation coins (Turkish Olympics & 150 years of high court), but I could only get some from the mint shop.

Beautiful coins Renal.
I wish Australia would do some
circulating bi-metals. ;D
-
In that case we wouldn't be able to count your coins :)
