Human Rights Coins


Several European Union States have issued coins that are commemorative of human rights. Last year, Belgium, Finland, Portugal and Italy issued 2 euro coins on the 60th anniversary of the University Declaration of Human Rights. France has recently released a 10 euro silver coin for the 60th anniversary of the European Court of Human Rights, shown in the photo. They can be purchased from coin dealers, such as Electa Collections (http://www.electacollections.com/default.aspx?langid=2) and Yvert et Tellier (http://www.yvert.com/F_frame.html?http://www.yvert.com/), and make lovely gifts.
