As legend would have it, it was Buddha himself who gave each animal its place in the Asian zodiac. When he called all the animals together following the creation, only twelve felt it necessary to attend the meeting. As a reward for their effort in making the long journey, Buddha offered each of them their own year, which would from then on bear the name of that animal. In addition, each animal was also given the opportunity to directly influence history during that time – and thus, in turn, the fate of those humans born in that year. Analogous to the characteristics of the respective animal symbol, and by means of your date of birth, you too can read those characteristic traits that may – or may not – apply to you. 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998—Tiger people are sensitive, given to deep thinking, capable of great sympathy. They can be extremely short-tempered, however. Other people have great respect for them, but sometimes tiger people come into conflict with older people or those in authority. sometimes Tiger people cannot make up their minds, which can result in a poor, hasty decision or a sound decision arrived at too late. They are suspicious of others, but they are courageous and powerful. Tigers are most compatible with Horses, Dragons, and Dogs.
One of a series of six legal tender frog coins issued under authority of the Government of Malawi.
Malawi – Endangered Frogs – Tree Frog – 10 Kwacha – 2010 – Proof Colored Coin – A tree frog is any frog that spends a major portion of its lifespan in trees, known as an arboreal state. As the name implies, these frogs are typically found in very tall trees or other high-growing vegetation. They do not normally descend to the ground, except to mate and spawn, though some build foam nests on leaves and rarely leave the trees at all as adults. Many tree frogs can change their color for better camouflage. Tree frogs are usually tiny, as their weight has to be carried by the branches and twigs of their habitat. While some reach 4 inches or more, they are typically smaller and more slender than terrestrial frogs. Typical for “tree frogs” are the well-developed discs at the finger and toe tips; the fingers and toes themselves as well as the limbs tend to be rather long, resulting in a superior grasping ability.

Palau – Ferrari coin – Greatest Victories – Ferrari 156 F1 – $1 – 2011 – Proof Colored Coin – Factory Case & COA – The Ferrari 156 was a racecar introduced by Ferrari in 1961 to comply with then-new F1 regulations that lowered engine displacement from 2.5 to 1.5 liters, similar to the pre-1961 F2 class for which Ferrari had developed a midsize-engine car also called 156. It used the V6 Dino engine named after Enzo Ferrari’s late son. The new engine was a revised F2 engine with the V-angle increased from 65 to 120 degrees. This increased the power by 10 hp (7 kW). Bore and stoke were 73.0 x 58.8 millimeters with a displacement of 1,476.60 cc and a claimed 190 hp (142 kW) at 9,500 rpm. For 1962 a 24-valve version was planned with 200 hp (149 kW) at 10,000 rpm, but never appeared. In 1963 the 12-valve version fitted with Bosch direct-fuel injection instead of carburetors achieved that power level. The last victory for the Ferrari 156 was achieved by Italian Lorenzo Bandini in the 1964 Austrian Grand Prix. It has one of the most iconic racecar shapes and was one of the most distinctive of all Ferraris. Phil Hill won the 1961 World Championship of Drivers and Ferrari secured the 1961 International Cup for F1 Manufacturers, both victories achieved with the 156. This beautiful legal-tender coin was struck in silver-plated copper-nickel and issued under licensing authority of Ferrari, S.P.A., Maranello, Italy. It comes in a distinctive Ferrari presentation case with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity and has a worldwide mintage of only 2,500 coins. This Ferrari coin would make a truly unique gift for that racing enthusiast in your life or collector of non-circulating legal tender (NCLT) coins.
