Coin of the Year
After gaining a large percentage of the vote, it appeared Hungary’s 50 forint coin commemorating the 1956 Hungarian Revolution would easily walk away with the first annual “People’s Choice” Coin of the Year award, sponsored by World Coin News and Krause Publications.
Not so, said lovers of Polish coinage. With a daylong mega-surge in votes, Poland has now taken the lead with 57 per cent of the international vote. Poland’s entry called “St. John’s Night” features a hologram with a stylized image of a fern flower, which changes colors depending on the angle of vision.
At this time, over 12,000 coin lovers from 131 different countries have logged their votes at NumisMaster.com.
Voting will continue thru January 15, at which time the first “People’s Choice” winner will be solidified.
The results will be revealed at the Coin of the Year ceremony in the Paris Room of the Estrel Hotel and Convention Center during the World Money Fair in Berlin, Germany on Saturday, February 2, 2008.
Although, if the gap continues to widen, the winner will be no secret!
Log on to NumisMaster.com to follow the action and cast your vote between now and January 15.
