	THE MAY 13 ROUND-UP » This Week: The fifth coin in the Austrian Mint-series Tales & Legends of Austria has been released, this time focusing on the story of the Lindwurm in Klagenfurt. » This Week: The German central bank has announced that its uncirculated €10 coins will be minted in cupronickel instead of silver, starting with the second issue of 2011. This means that the currently available uncirculated issue for Franz Liszt is the last issue with silver coins issued in both proof and uncirculated qualities. The reason for this is of course the staggeringly high silver prices that have pushed the value of the precious metal far above the denominational value of the coin. » This Week: In early July, Monaco will issue a €2 coin celebrating the wedding of Prince Albert to Charlene Wittstock. The coin will be released in proof quality in a jewel case only, and the issue limit will be 60,000 pcs. » This Week: The eagerly awaited tiny Irish gold goin featuring the Celtic Cross has already sold out, both from the Central Bank of Ireland and from RSM. Regrettably, we are not anticipating any more coins to be made available. » Earlier: The Finnish €10 silver proof coin honoring the 125th anniversary of writer, politician and businesswoman Hella Wuolijoki & Equality has arrived and is ready to be shipped. This is the second in the Great Finnish Women coin series, which started in 2010 with the Minna Canth & Equality collector coin. » Earlier: The third coin in the Austrian Mint-series Rome on the Danube has been released, this time honoring the town of Carnuntum.
