Animation beautifully shows off what Europe's coins looked like before the Euro
Alessandro Novelli has directed and designed this lovely animated tribute to the European coins that were phased out when we all adopted the Euro.
From the Spanish peseta to the Dutch Guilder - and not forgetting our good old Punt - it's a fascinating look at the variety of the currencies across Europe before the introduction of the Euro zone.
They write:
"Beautiful Coins is one of our latest projects, a short video, a story within a story. We chose, a coin from each country that joined the Euro zone, in order to create a visual narrative that links all the nations together. Each coin identifies and describes a different political and historical moment of Europe, between its period of activity."
