WHERE IS PURPLE SHAFTIEULAND?

You won't find Purple Shaftieuland in any atlas. The Purple Shaftieuland coins were created by coin dealer Bob Kolasa in 1970 as a spoof on foreign aid and the numerous coin sets being issued by obscure nations. The set of 5 coins includes a 16mm 1 Nudge, a 22mm 1 Twist, and 38mm 1/4, 1/2 and a Full Shaft. The coins were struck in both “brilliant brass” and “genuine unanodized aluminum” and come with a politically incorrect “ brochure ”. The coins are Uncirculated, though may show some minor spotting from sitting in storage since 1970. It is an interesting and fun fantasy issue.

BI-METALLIC EURO COIN FROM THE FLEMISH REPUBLIC

For over a year, Belgium has not been able to create a national government because of disagreements between the French speaking portions and the Dutch speaking portions of the country. Despite the lack of a national government (or maybe because of a lack of a national government), Belgium is doing better economically than most of Europe. A number Belgians have advocated breaking the country into two separate nations. Flanders is the Dutch speaking part of Belgium. This 2010 1 Euro coin was created for the Flemish Republic, which does not yet exist. One side has a map of Flanders with the legend Vlaams €uro (Flemish Euro). The other side features a Flemish lion.

THE TAR VALON MARK FROM ROBERT JORDAN'S WHEEL OF TIME SERIES



Robert Jordan's epic Wheel of Time series has become one of the most popular epic fantasy series in the world. The books have frequently topped the New York Times Best Sellers lists and has spawned role playing and computer games. The series features a fantasy world with well developed characters and intricate plots. The series was envisioned to span six novels, the first of which was published in 1990. The series ended up with 14 volumes, plus a prequel and a campanion volume. The author died in 2007, leaving extensive notes. The final volumes in the series were finished Brandon Sanderson with the last volume finally being published in 2013. Events unfold after Tar Valon Mark coins, like this one, are given to three young farm boys from Two Rivers: Rand, Mat and Perrin. This attractive 25mm "nickel-silver" coin is officially licensed, however I cannot say if it contains any magical power.
