The public will soon be voting alongside mint officials, museum
curators, medalists and journalists to determine the "People's Choice"
of the world's best coinage, when voting goes live on soon at
NumisMaster.com.
56 Expert judges from around the world will decide the category winners
and the Coin of the Year as in the past, but again this year, the
public will decide the outcome of a congruent award honoring the
ultimate in coinage design.
"We are excited to once again offer Coin of the Year voting to coin
collectors from around the world," said Scott Tappa, numismatics
publisher at Krause Publications. "Last year's program drew hundreds of
thousands of votes from around the globe, and we're expecting an even
greater response this year. What could be more democratic than letting
collectors decide which coin they like best?"
The contest, sponsored by World Coin News and NumisMaster, will
celebrate its 25th year anniversary of honoring Mints of the world who
produce the most artistic, historically relevant, and innovative
coinage.
"In its first year, the People's Choice Coin of the Year became an
incredibly competitive award. Collectors take obvious pride in the
issues of their countries and they expressed themselves strongly in
their online voting," said World Coin News executive editor Dave
Harper. "We expect voter participation to rise sharply this year."
Last year's People's Choice winner was the
Hungarian
Mint,
for its 50 forint coin celebrating the 50th anniversary of the
Hungarian Revolution. Mints from France, Austria, the United States,
Latvia, and Finland were among the countries also honored with awards,
with the
Royal
Canadian Mint
taking the top prize for its four-piece set of $50 palladium coins
showing the Big Bear and Little Bear constellations in changing
seasonal positions.
The Coin of the Year
awards
ceremony
will be held at the World Money Fair in Berlin, Germany at the Estrel
Hotel and Convention Center on Saturday, February 7, 2009.
