Week Twenty-Seven

 

Coin of the Week: 2015 U.S. Marshalls Commemorative Half Dollar

This coin is not even on the market yet, but production has started. The obverse features two U.S. Marshalls while the reverse shows Lady Justice holding a set of scales, next to a lot of other law-and-order related things like the Constitution. This coin will be available in early 2015. It is made of the standard clad half-dollar composition. Can’t wait!

Wonderful World: 1913 Napoleon Defeat Silver 2 Mark Prussian Commemorative Coin

This coin was struck in the Germany state of Prussia in 1913 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Prussia joining the fight against Napoleon Bonaparte’s European conquest. It is one of my personal favorite German coins, struck just before WWI. The reverse eagle is one of the most beautiful that I have ever seen, and the obverse battalion scene is super cool.
