Renal, are any of these coins going into circulation? Title: Re: Latest releases of the Turkish Mint Post by: humpybong on January 19, 2010, 03:50:31 AM I like all of the new coins but like the bi-metallic coins more, RenaL Thanks for showing them. Title: Re: Latest releases of the Turkish Mint Post by: RenaL on January 19, 2010, 01:51:54 PM 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. Title: Re: Latest releases of the Turkish Mint Post by: humpybong on January 19, 2010, 06:05:22 PM 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? Title: Re: Latest releases of the Turkish Mint Post by: RenaL on January 20, 2010, 10:50:09 PM 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;) Title: Re: Latest releases of the Turkish Mint Post by: EgCollector on January 22, 2010, 01:50:23 AM very nice coins Renal :)
i like both the girl face in the Source of Life: Water coin, and the roses in the 1430th anniversary of Hijra coin. Thanks for sharing :) Title: Re: Latest releases of the Turkish Mint Post by: templar on January 22, 2010, 08:40:12 AM YOU HAVE SOME VERY UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL COINS--------VERY DIFFERENT--THANKS VERY MUCH FOR SHARING
YOUR SERVANT........THE TEMPLAR(http://) Title: Re: Latest releases of the Turkish Mint Post by: Yass on January 22, 2010, 10:25:27 AM 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. Title: Re: Latest releases of the Turkish Mint Post by: RenaL on January 22, 2010, 01:38:25 PM They renewed the website recently, the English part should work soon.
