The Central Bank of Romania has issued a new silver coin to mark the passage of a century since the adoption of the use of the Georgen Calender by the then Kindom of Romania. In April 1919, Romania adopted the Georgen calender after it, like many other orthodox majority countries in Europe, adhered to the Julian Calendar.

On behalf of government and treasury of Niue Island, the New Zealand Mint issued late last week a new silver coin featuring images from Ali Baba and the forty thieves tale.

The UK-based Pobjoy Mint has released a new 2 oz silver coin featuring a female warrior riding a dragon. The mythical dragons have been very popular since ancient time with their images appearing in Hampton Court Palace in South London and others. The mythical beasts also appeared on books, movies, and songs.
