I was looking through an auction archive and saw this Hungarian coin:
I love the design and was interested in seeing other coins with coins on them. Please post any that you know of!
I collect world proof sets, coins featuring composers, mid-20th century U.S. proof coins, U.S. type coins, and whatever else I want.

This one’s from the Philippines. It was issued in 1977 to commemorate the inauguration of the Central Bank of the Philippines’ Security Printing Plant and Mint Complex.
This is the coin’s obverse, where you can see two historic coins depicted in the foreground. These miniature coins are a 50-centavos coin featuring the figure of Liberty and a one-centavo coin depicting a blacksmith seated beside his anvil.
Both coins were originally issued in 1903, when the Philippines was a US territory. Their designs remained in use even after the country gained its independence, and were carried over to the coins issued by the new republic in 1958. The designs were eventually discontinued in 1967.

The coins were all dated 1965 and were brass 5, 10, 25, 50 centavos, brass 1 sol, and silver 20 soles, all with similar designs.
The coin image on the obverse is of a Spanish Peru coin.
