ANDORRA – ECLECTIC SIX COIN YEAR SET – 2002 – BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED — Thematically speaking, Andorra was all over the map when they decided on themes for their 2002 issues. This set consists of six coins: A One Centim coin, KM-176 that features Charlemagne (Charles the Great), a second Centim, KM-177, with a Mountain Goat and a third Centim, KM-178, that depicts Agnus Dei—The Lamb of God. The Two Centim coin, KM-179, shows the Edelweiss flower, native to the mountainous regions of southern Europe, while the two Five Centim coins depict wildlife. KM-180 shows a squirrel on a stump and KM-181 a male capercaillie (grouse) displaying plumage. Neat little six coin set would make a nice addition to any collection of world coins.
The British refer to a horse used primarily for pleasure rides as a “Hack”, although the horse depicted on this crown seems to be a bit spirited for the term Hack. In any event, this beautiful piece would make a nice addition to any collection.

He is joined in his journey by his three Hobbit friends Merry, Pippin and Samwise as well as Gandalf, Legolas the Elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Aragorn and Boromir.

This coin was the sixth issue of what has become the Isle of Man Cat Coins Series, first issued in 1988. Some 150 years ago, American sailors returning to the State of Maine brought home Angoras.

This beautiful uncirculated cat crown from the Isle of Man Cat Coins Series makes a unique gift idea that will please the most discriminating cat lover and has become a favorite of collectors of world coins with animal themes.
