 The Coin of the Year Award
for 2009 has been won by Mongolia for a silver 500-tugrik coin that
depicts a wolverine with diamond eyes.
An international panel made
the selection in a second round of balloting that concluded in mid-January.
The judges chose from among the winners of 10 categories determined
by their first round of voting.
The award will be presented
February 7 in a special ceremony at the World Money Fair in Berlin,
Germany, by David C. Harper on behalf of World Coin News, sponsor of
the award and a sister publication to Numismatic News.
"The judges had to be
drawn to the eyes of the wolverine. They are quite compelling,"
Harper said about the Mongolian coin.
