Surprise envelope from France!

@Cucumbor said he was going to send me something, but didn't say what it was.
While this envelope was traveling across the Atlantic, I had forgotten all about him saying that.
Inside was a lovely proof 2001 20-centime piece!
I see plenty of these in World coin bulk lots, but of course those are the business strikes.
This is the first proof I have had. Quite a lovely design.
Merci beaucoup, @Cucumbor!

Very nice, both the coin and the gesture.

Glad it arrived to you safe and sound : one never knows how things will turn out when sending coins ...
It was meant to thank you @lordmarcovan for your constant generosity towards other members, here and there, for the last 20 years, and from which I benefited myself recently
I have a soft spot for 2001 issues. The last year of issue and first year of issue are always special.

Rob, very nice!
Have you gone into yeti mode once again, or is it my infrequent visits that was the reason that we never crossed paths for quite a few years now?
And 42 thousand posts? 🤭
2001 has always been a very special year for LordM too I believe. Jeez your daughter is now 20 years old! 😊

Very nice!
Dimitri- good to see you!
You are spot-on- Victoria turns 20 the day after tomorrow! How old is your girl now? Evie, was it? (Geez, autocorrect just made that into “Evil”. Yikes!)
Nah, not 42K posts. I got a 20K+ post count haircut when they switched software in 2016. I had 60-some thousand.
But I’m more yeti than not, these days. Spend 90% of my time on CoinTalj now. You should come visit over there. Good place.
I do still stick my head in over here from time to time.
Wonderful classic design.
