This Brilliant Uncirculated, heavy coin features a beautiful Irish harp on the obverse and a hen and chicks on the reverse. It is guaranteed to bring the bearer good luck. Would make a nice gift for any collector of Irish or world coins, or anyone you know in need of a bit of good luck.
This coin is one of a Limited Edition of 250 pieces issued worldwide and comes with a mint-issued presentation case and Certificate of Authenticity.
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.
This was the third issue in the Isle of Man Cat Coins Series that began in 1988. One of life’s great survivors, the cat has adapted to the hazards and pressures of big city life better than practically any other animal – including man.

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.
