Coins are a valuable historical source. From the images on them, we can judge the form of state power, the degree of development of industry and technology in the country that issued the coin, the dynastic problems and features of heraldry. But in addition to ordinary, or circulation, coins, there are also anniversary coins - their release is timed to coincide with any significant dates. It is precisely such coins that this publication is dedicated, covering the period from the end of World War II to the present day. Numerous illustrations, fascinating presentation, curious facts from the history of numismatics and world history - thanks to all this, the book will be useful not only to collectors, but also to everyone interested in the secrets of the past.
