2014 COIN OF THE YEAR WINNERS ANNOUNCED

Coin Update has an article by Michael Alexander on the winners of the 2014 Coin of the Year awards from Krause Publications. Here's an excerpt, but be sure to read the complete article online. -Editor

Voting took place by secret electronic ballot in ten categories by an international panel of judges from the 31st October to the 10th November. A nominating committee met in the offices of World Coin News in Iola, Wisconsin USA on the 4th October and placed a total of 99 coins in the first round of the COTY ballot. All coins in the competition are dated 2012 and nominations were submitted by anyone wishing to bring attention to their favorite coin or coins.

In the first round of ballots, France and Australia were the top two contenders for the 2014 Coin of the Year Award sponsored by World Coin News gaining awards for two categories each respectively. Greece, with its three nominations in separate categories, was also recognized for its excellence.

Here are a couple winners that caught my eye. -Editor
