Belarus : Year of the Monkey

#1 Unread post by mhonzell »

Here is the fourth coin in the Belarus Chinese Lunar Calendar set:

(For some reason, the seller in Minsk decided to remove the coin from it's holder to wrap it in paper. This resulted in a small nick on the reverse at 8:00 near the rim. The reverse is the Monkey side.)

Not to worry. My Minsk contact is going to replace the coin! Woohoo!

I have to say though, that the horses are still my favorite, so far.
PS. Those are not painted, they are plated with gold in strategic spots.
