Two coins that commemorate the same thing!

You can fairly often find coins from different countries that commemorate a big anniversary of a huge event (like the upcoming 100th anniversary of WWI). But it is a challenge to find two coins with the same subject from two different countries and two different years! Here are two that I am happy to own...

German States (Saxony), 3 mark, 1913 - Centennial of the Battle of Leipzig


Russian Federation, 5 rubles, 2013 - Bicentennial of the Battle of Leipzig
Great find. As you say on same year it is easier to find two coins commemorating one thing, much harder when dates don't match.
A few countries issued coins to commemorate the 200th anniverary of the Battle of Trafalgar in 2005.  For some reason the Cook Islands issued theirs in 2010 https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces46818.html
Here's a pair from the same year...

Canada, 25 cents, 1604-2004
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces16293.html
France, 1/4 euro, 1604-2004

They both commemorate the first French settlement in modern Canada by Samuel de Champlain. I have always had a hard time finding the 25 cent coin despite its high mintage - perhaps it was only issued in Quebec...
The United States issued a 50 cent coin in 1936 to commemorate the Tercentenary of Delaware in 1938. Sweden issued a 2 kronur in 1938 commemorating the Tercentenery of the settling of New Sweden. Both commemorate the same thing, and depict the same ship, "Kalmyr Nyckel".

Jersey issued a coin series (plus a crown) commemorating the 900th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings in 1966.
United Kingdom issued a coin commemorating the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings in 2016.

I don't currently have any examples of either (just missed out on one of the Jersey coins a few days ago), but IIRC both are fairly common (good luck getting that crown though).
It's debatable whether Jersey and UK count as different countries, however.

​I've seen the Canadian one but only rarely. If I have a spare I'll let you know.

I was actually wondering how many countries had/have commemorative coins for WWI, which has a lot of 100th anniversaries this decade.

​I have quite a few of these and lately I've been putting them back in change. They are pretty common in the toronto area atleast ;-)

​I found one of those in my change in Niagara Falls a few months ago! :wiz:
Just happened to get the 1966 Jersey Hastings commemorative (the 1/4 shilling version) today.
The 2016 UK coin will probably be much harder to find though (and definitely much more expensive).

​It's a bit unexpected, but I sent you a PM anyway, just in case :)
