Title: 25 ECU Britain 1993
Post by: NumisMatty on November 14, 2007, 12:42:32 AM

Before they had the Euro, everyone was talking about the ECU - European Currency Unit
This was another experimental test coin.
Obverse features a lovely portrait of Victoria with Gothic lettering around the rim and is finished in Gold.
Reverse depicts London Bridge with a clipper ship.

Is this one of Richard Lobel's "what might have been" coins?
