I am very fond of ships on coins.
I know that many people share this fondness. I have a few coins depicting ships.
So, I will post a series called "Ships on Coins" and I will show all the coins that I have on this theme.
There will be no order of presentation or country of issue. As the coins are stored in several places, I will simply search on each place and publish those that I found.
The twenty fifth is a 1996 5 ECU "Coca de Mataró".
It is part of the Ecus - Series VIII - Tribute to the Spanish Navy II.
This coin weights 33.62g (1.08oz), has a 92.5% silver purity and Proof finish.
The obverse shows the ex-voto "Coca de Mataró". It is one of the oldest in Europe (around 1450). This kind of ship was used from the XII to the XIV centuries.
The reverse is an stylized ship of this era.
