Every four years the nations of the world embrace one international event as the subject of some of their most distinguished efforts in the arts - the Olympic Games. The Olympics spur nations to put on show the best and their numismatic output reflects this. Numerous designs are struck in silver and other metals but their best designs can be found gracing coins of the most precious metals - particularly gold.

While our collection of coins from the Islamic nations of the world (excluding the tremendous output of Somalia and Sierra Leone) is not yet that extensive it has been growing and recent events in North Africa and the Middle East have inspired us to sharpen our eyes for the coins and banknotes from these nations that appear perched upon the crossroads of history. As we locate, identify and grade these items we will add them into this newly established portion of our website. If pieces such as these capture your attention then please visit our collection and return again to see what additions we've made.  Let us know if there is a particular nation, area of the world or specific historical milieu you would like to see better represented amongst our collections.

In the Chinese Zodiac 2011 is the Year of the Rabbit. As we've found that coins of the specific Chinese Zodiac years are popular items on our website and as we have just acquired some very splendid Year of the Rabbit coins and sets, we have established a more specific and complete section on our site for just these coins. Visit us to see all of our Year of the Rabbit Zodiac coins and coins for all the other signs of the Chinese Zodiac.  People born in the Year of the Rabbit are reputed to be articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are said to be virtuous, reserved, and to have excellent taste. According to the traditions of the Chinese Zodiac Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract. They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative & wise. They are most compatible with those born in the years of the Sheep, Pig, & Dog.
