Ursula Kampmann has an interesting write-up on her site at Coins Weekly.
I have seen a lot of these smaller issuing governments (like Cook
Islands) in the past few years with unbelievably high relief and 3D
artistry. Coins Weekly has a small write-up on the company that has been minting these issues for the various authorities.
Has anyone gotten a hold of any of these recent issues? And are they
reliefs as breathtaking in person as they are in photos?
