| 2009 VATICAN COIN SETS Just arrived are the annual coin sets from the Vatican, this year celebrating the 80th anniversary of the founding of Vatican City by the Lateran Treaty in 1929. Both the Brilliant Uncirculated, and Proof sets come with the eight standard issue coins with Pope Benedict on the reverse. The proof set has an issue limit of 15,000 sets - 1,000 less than in 2008 - and also features a silver medal dedicated to John the Apostle. The issue limit for the BU set is 85,000 copies. The coins do not circulate, so the only chance of acquiring them is from one of these sets. PROOF SETS WITH €2 EMU 10 We can now offer the annual proof coin sets from the Netherlands and Spain, both featuring the eight standard issue coins in the euro range as well as the special issue €2 celebrating the 10th anniversary of the euro as the common currency. Both the set from Spain, and Holland come in exclusive jewel cases with Certificates of Authenticity from their respective mint. The set from Spain has an issue limit of only 5,000 sets, whereas the Dutch set has been made in a limited run of 7,500 copies. It is the first year the Dutch Mint has manufactured its commemorative circulating coin in proof quality. 2009 MANHATTAN ANNIVERSARY Just arrived are the coins celebrating the 400th anniversary of contact between the Netherlands and Manhattan. The issue consists of a gold coin (currently sold out), €5 silver proof coin , and €5 silver-plated uncirculated coin issued to celebrate the anniversary - all with the same design of Manhattan then and now on either side of the coin. 2009 NORWEGIAN ISSUES At last, the long-awaited annual souvenir coin set, classic coin set and silver proof coin for author Knut Hamsun have arrived and are available to order. This is so far the only scheduled commemorative coin from Norway for 2009, as there will not be any circulating commemorative 20-krone or 10-krone issued. 2009 EUROSTAR PROGRAM 2009 is the 6th year for the European program with a common theme and mintmark - the eurostar - and this year the theme is European Heritage. For the fourth time non-Euro countries are participating and a total of 12 mints are expected to be involved: Austria (Joseph Haydn), Belgium (Erasmus), Czech Republic (Kepler), Finland (Pacius), France (Concorde), Hungary (Calvin), Ireland (Ploughman), Italy (Marconi), Netherlands (TBA), Portugal (Portuguese languange), Slovakia (Aurel Stodola), and Spain (King Phillip II). THE NIGHT WATCH Soon we will also see the arrival of the latest issue in the popular series Masterpeices of Art, namely Rembrandt's "the Night Watch". As with previous issues, the coin is very limited - earlier coins have had limits of as low as 1,000 pieces - and will most likely sell out. Currently, the only previous coin in the series that is still available in very limited numbers is Botticelli's "Birth of Venus". The coins carry very true reproductions of the classic masterpieces, finished in full color through high-quality pad printing techniques, that are surrounded by genuine Swarovski crystals inset in the coins themself. €2 PROGRAM 2009 The following €2 are expected to be released in 2009: 
» Finland - Finnish War 200 Years » Italy - Louis Braille 200 Years » Malta - Topic Unknown » Portugal - Lusophone Games » San Marino - Year of Creativity & Innovation » Slovakia - Independence 20 Years » Vatican - Year of Astronomy
Please note that issues are removed from this list upon their arrival at RSM. EURO ADOPTION SCHEDULE The previously announced euro adoption dates for Lithuania (2010) and Estonia (2011) might be in jeopardy. Both countries – along with Latvia – are struggling with inflation well above the 4.2% EMU upper limit, and it has been indicated that 2013 might be a more fitting adoption schedule for all three of these countries. As neither Central Bank has changed its official information, we will still list the below dates even though they most likely will not be met: » 2010: Lithuania, Andorra (by monetary agreement) » 2011: Estonia » 2012: Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland » 2013: Czech Republic, Latvia » 2014: Romania FREE ONLINE SHIPPING Shipping within the United States just got more affordable! In fact, it is now free if you order online and spend more than $200. Please read more at rsmint.com. PRICE MATCH GUARANTEE RSM's goal is to offer the most comprehensive list of world coins at the lowest possible prices. If you find any of the items available at a lower advertised price anywhere in North America (USA and Canada), RSM will beat this price by $1 (some restrictions apply). | Arrivals May 15 » Italy €2 EMU 10 » Lithuania 50Lt Vilnius » Lithuania 1Lt Vilnius » Luxembourg BU Set » Holland Proof Set » Russia Cities: Vyborg » Russia States: Kalmykia » Spain Proof Set » Vatican BU Set » Vatican Proof Set
