Krause Publications has recently announced the ten category winners for the 2015 Coin of the Year Awards. Each year, the nomination and award process provides a nice look at the diverse styles, themes, and technologies employed by mints around the world.
The original slate of nominees included 94 different 2013-dated coins from 45 countries across ten categories. Winners were selected for each category with an overall winner to be selected through an additional round of judging.
As in the past, I wanted to devote a post to showcasing the award winning coins. Nearly all of these have received coverage either on World Mint News Blog or Coin Update, so I will also link back to the original articles which contain more in depth information on each coin. In the cases where the coins have not been covered, I have linked out to the issuers website.
