October 27, 2008 (FPRC) -- Once again, the public will
vote alongside mint officials, museum curators,
medalists, and journalists to determine the "People's
Choice" of the world's best coinage, when Coin of the
Year voting goes live November 3rd at NumisMaster.com .
Expert judges from around the world will be deciding
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, which is 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. 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
Canada, France, Austria, the United States, Latvia,
and Finland were among the countries also honored with
awards. This year's ceremony will again be held at the
World Money Fair in Berlin, Germany during the first
weekend of February 2009.
