Description from the seller
Europe – Lot of 14 Unofficial Euro Probe / Trial / Essai Specimen Issues – Various Countries
A mixed collection of 14 unofficial euro-themed probe and specimen issues from several European countries.
The pieces belong to the privately produced series carrying the multilingual inscriptions PRUEBA – TRIAL – ESSAI – PROBE and, on the denomination sides, SPECIMEN. These issues are catalogued as fantasy or unofficial trial pieces rather than official legal-tender euro coinage. Examples from this series are associated with Bayerisches Münzkontor Göde, Waldaschaff, identifiable by the crowned G mint mark. Numista
The lot contains 14 different pieces relating to:
- Denmark – 1 piece
- Cyprus – 1 piece
- Hungary – 6 pieces
- Vatican City – 2 pieces
- Sweden – 3 pieces
- Great Britain – 1 piece
The pieces show a variety of nominal euro-style denominations and designs. The national sides include portraits, national symbols, architecture, heraldry and historical subjects. The opposite sides use denomination-style designs together with the word SPECIMEN.
Among the identifiable subjects are Gustav II Adolf of Sweden, papal/Vatican imagery, Britannia, Hungarian architectural motifs and national designs for Denmark and Cyprus.
