Success! Earthquake among the Coin Constellation 2018 winners!
On November 2, in Moscow, the awards took place in the 12th edition of the "Coin Constellation" competition. This year, as many as 220 coins issued between 1 January and 31 December 2017 were submitted to the jury. The competition was attended by both domestic banks (Russia, Israel, Latvia, Kyrgyz Republic, Poland, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Hungary) as well as mints from around the world (including Perth Mint, Mint of Poland, Royal Canadian Mint, New Zealand Post, Royal Australian Mint, Monnaie de Paris, Lithuanian Mint, Coin Invest Trust, and us :)
Each mint or bank could submit only two coins to the competition. Among the issues from around the world, the jury awarded prizes in 9 categories.
The "Earthquake" coin, the first in the Cataclysms series, of which we are the exclusive distributor, and which we submitted to the competition, took the third place in the "Unique Concept" category. Admit it is a good start to this new series :)
