NGC Expert Comments:
We sometimes wonder about the day jobs of Registry participants. In the case of TMS coins, we would bet its director of tourism for the island of Cyprus. TMS, who hails from Cyprus, describes the history and beauty of the island, writing “Should there be any wonder why Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love and beauty, made her home in this island?” The designs of the coins, issued by a new Republic after British rule, highlight the nation’s specialties. The 50 mils, with its bunch of plump grapes, has us wanting to travel to Cyprus for a glass of wine with Dionysus. TMS Coins’ fondness for these coins is readily apparent, having had them graded himself and writing the coins remind him of memories from high school, university, and life.
