Lunar New Year 2011 coins

Christmas is not even over... and UOB has already started to send out its brochure for the Gold Coins to usher in the year of the rabbits!

Must say that the collection for the 2011 Lunar New Year of the Rabbit looks pretty nice.

Personally, I have not purchased any such coins from UOB, as I purchase mine from Singapore Mint on a yearly basis.

So perhaps, this year, I will have an option?

Japan World Exposition 1970 Silver Medallion

Just bought this antique silver medallion...

It was minted in 1970 probably in conjunction with Japan World Exposition, EXPO in 1970.

Condition of the medallion is still pretty good as you can make out from the pictures!
