NOTES ON RECENT COIN ISSUES
P.K. Saha tracks issues from around the world, and on occasion I'll publish designs that catch my eye. Recently I published a new Austrian 5 euro coin commemorating the "Pummerin Bell 1711-2011".

Pabitra Saha writes: It was a mistake to translate Austria Bell Coin as 400th jubilee. The translation should have been "Enters into 4th century". In any case, the original bell was lost in a fire and this one is not even 100 years old. Tim Shuck asked: Does P.K. Saha have a website where these coin images are posted? I've been keeping an ongoing lists of links to numismatic websites, from which I occasionally post information either on my blog, metacoin.com, or as a news item on Twitter; would like to add this link if there is one. Pabitra Saha writes: I do not have any site where the images can be posted. If any of your readers want to get their name included on my mailing list, ask them to contact me (pksaha000@yahoo.co.uk). The site for ultra modern numismatists is maintained by my friend David at www.worldcoinnews.blogspot.com . He excludes non-circulating coins, but the site is more comprehensive than my mail since all ultra modern numismatists also report there.
Here's another recent issue I like.

Canada has issued a new coin to highlight the beauty and cultural traditions of Canadian winters. This is minted with the year of 2011, although the coin will be available towards the end of 2010.
