Composer/Musician Coins Wanted

8 αναρτήσεις • προβλήθηκε 210 φορές
Greetings!
I have just recently discovered the vast amount of composer/musician coins out there; it is now one of my new collections I want to work on, as well as others.
The main one that caught my attention is the Mozart Euro coin, which was the first I saw. It has been difficult to get any swaps going for these specific coins.
Overseas swaps are WAY too expensive for my budget. I thought I had a great one worked out in Denmark, shipping alone was over the top!

Anyway, if you are in the US or Canada and have any composer/musician coins you want to trade, please check out my list. My profile has other collections I am working on, so there might be other things you have I am in search of.

Thanks for looking!

One of my interests too, but - as long as circulating coins are concerned - there are only a handful of them. Most of them by Austria. Strange enough, with so many great names, Germany doesn't have a single one!
Actually, Germany has several
Here is one
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces30103.html

There are
1920 10 Pfennig
1920 25 Pfennig
Both of these have Beethoven

Then there is this Brahms coin

As well as others for at least Handel that I have heard of.

Yes, the collection's beautiful narrow focus is beautiful, I have not yet reached this stage. Most circulating coins alternate between politicians and cultural monuments, so there are few to find musicians there. But medal sand there are a large number of commemorative coins and there is no such interest here( Dvořák 755 Kč -and did not sell). Don't be afraid to use the stone shops, I've already published a few here ( The fact that you pay for sending some 4 to 6 euros is true, but such is the time )
Example:

not sold 755, -CZK


philharmonic



And here is this year from Slovakia only the musical instrument is unknown to most of the world:


So just for the pleasure of the eye some examples.

Hello,

This is the only coin I have that fits the composers theme somewhat.

Don't see what the problem with non-circulating coins is, but to each his own.

A few more using the tags on colnect

Greece 20 Drachmai (Dionysos Solomos) (1990-2000)
German States a whole bunch of coins featuring Friedrich Wilhelm III, who was also composer (eg. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces15622.html)
Slovenia 5 tolar 1995 Jakob Aljaž
Just call me Bram

No new swaps for the moment, still too many half-ongoing swaps to clean up!
Well, none of those three could actually be considered a "composer", even if the last two did leave a couple of sheets of music behind. The Greek one was a poet!
