Saudi Arabia 50 Halala KM68 - Three subtypes
The 50 halala KM#68 (Schön#53) has 3 different types, as reported by Wolfgang Schuster.
Year AH1431(2010) has a different calligraphy for 'khamsun halala’ (fifty halala) than year AH1428(2007):
The Arabic inscription 'khamsun halala’ (fifty halala) comes in 2 different forms regarding its calligraphy:
a) 1428H: the 'n' in khamsun is positioned above the u, and there are no diacritical marks below 'halala'
b) 1431H (and also 1434H & 1436H): the 'n' in khamsun is positioned left of the u, and diacritical marks are added below 'halala'
And in this second picture you can see that year AH1434(2013), and also AH1436(2015), has a straight position for year numerals, not like previous issues, that had a curved one:
So, finally, putting it all together, the 50 halala KM#68 exists in 3 distinct subtypes:
a) 1428H(2007): curved year, calligraphy type A for 'khamsun halala' without diacritical marks
b) 1431H(2010): curved year, calligraphy type B for 'khamsun halala' with diacritical marks
c) 1434H(2013) and 1436H (2015): straight year, calligraphy type B for 'khamsun halala' with diacritical marks
Image of the 1436H(2015) issue:
Year AH1431(2010) has a different calligraphy for 'khamsun halala’ (fifty halala) than year AH1428(2007):

In fact, the 50 Halala KM#68 exists in 3 distinct subtypes:
a. 1428H(2007): with curved year and calligraphy type A for 'khamsun halala' without diacritical marks
b. 1431H(2010): with curved year and calligraphy type B for 'khamsun halala' with diacritical marks

Canada 25 cents 2013 - First Canadian Arctic Expedition
New commemorative quarters: '1st Canadian Arctic Expedition, 100th Anniversary'
The first coin was designed by Canadian artist Bonnie Ross. The coin depicts the Canadian Arctic Expedition, a group of three men aboard a dogsled, the waiting dog team before them listening for the command to move on across the Arctic tundra. The skyline and horizon in the background are filled with a stylized image of a compass.
Designed by renowned Inuit artist Tim Pitsiulak, this second coin includes a beautifully detailed design that combines animal and human imagery. A traditional whaling boat and three kayaks wrap around the image along the rim to depict a traditional bowhead whale hunt. Twobeluga whales swim alongside a bowhead whale – animals that have long been a source of inspiration to the artist. The bowhead is adorned with several elements drawn from the Inuit culture. To honour the Tuniit people who first crossed the Bering Strait from Siberia, Dorset ivory masks adorn the bowhead's lower jaw and its back. A Thule ivory comb lies across the top of the whale's head, representing the Inuit expansion across Canada. The pattern on the whale's side mimics the walls of an igloo, while the amauti design that graces the whale's tale symbolizes the clothing worn by Inuit women.
There are 2 varieties of these 2 types, depending on the frosted features of the coins:

The coin depicts the Canadian Arctic Expedition, a group of three men aboard a dogsled, the waiting dog team before them listening for the command to move on across the Arctic tundra. The skyline and horizon in the background are filled with a stylized image of a compass.
Designed by renowned Inuit artist Tim Pitsiulak, this second coin includes a beautifully detailed design that combines animal and human imagery. A traditional whaling boat and three kayaks wrap around the image along the rim to depict a traditional bowhead whale hunt. Twobeluga whales swim alongside a bowhead whale – animals that have long been a source of inspiration to the artist. The bowhead is adorned with several elements drawn from the Inuit culture. To honour the Tuniit people who first crossed the Bering Strait from Siberia, Dorset ivory masks adorn the bowhead's lower jaw and its back. A Thule ivory comb lies across the top of the whale's head, representing the Inuit expansion across Canada. The pattern on the whale's side mimics the walls of an igloo, while the amauti design that graces the whale's tale symbolizes the clothing worn by Inuit women.
There are 2 varieties of these 2 types, depending on the frosted features of the coins:

Nagorno Karabakh 2013 - New fauna set
New fauna set in 2013:
The common sides:
The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is a republic in the South Caucasus recognised only by three other non-UN states (Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Transnistria). Recognised as part of Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh controls most of the territory of the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast and some of the surrounding area, giving it a border with Armenia to the west and Iran to the south.
The predominantly Armenian-populated region of Nagorno-Karabakh was disputed by Armenia and Azerbaijan when both countries became independent in 1918. After the Soviet Union established control over the area, it created the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast within the Azerbaijan SSR in 1923. In the final years of the Soviet Union, the region re-emerged as a source of dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan. In 1991, a referendum held in the NKAO and the neighbouring Shahumian region resulted in a declaration of independence. Large-scale ethnic conflict led to the 1991-1994 Nagorno-Karabakh War, which ended with a ceasefire that left the current borders.
The Nagorno-Karabakh dram is a monetary unit of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. Although it is legal tender, it is not as widely used as the Armenian dram. The set of coins from 2004 is included in Krause catalogue, with codes from KM#6 to KM#12. Also, some precious metal collectors coins are listed.

Denmark 10 & 20 Krone 2013 - New circulation types
In 2013, the 10 and 20 krone coins will be redesigned again to be more in line with their original design. This will restore the visual identity of the whole series, from the 50 øre coin to the highest denomination 20 kroner. Based on the very first version in this series, a new typeface has been designed for the coins. It was inspired by Danish Art Nouveau, known as Skønvirke, as seen in Danish coins from the early 20th century. The new typeface is in keeping with tradition, but also attractive and robust. Finally, the coat of arms will be redesigned to fit the coins, and the denomination will be shown in the robust, easy to read style also used on the other coins in the series.

New bimetallic commemoratives:
"Lithuanian heritage: Kurenas, Stelmuzes Azuolas, Verpste and Puntukas"
The Kurenas is a sailing fishing boat of Courland Lagoon in Lithuania, which is unchanged in its traditional form since the fourteenth century:
The Stelmuzes Azuolas (Stelmuze Oak) is an oak tree which grows in the former Stelmuze Manor park by Stelmuze village. It measures 3.5 m in diameter and 13 m in girth at its widest part; being 2.8 m and 9.58 m at waist level. The oak reaches 23 m in height with only side branches remaining alive. It is believed to be as much as 2,000 years old; this makes it the oldest oak in Lithuania and one of the oldest in Europe. However, exact age measurements are difficult as the inner part of the trunk has been removed. In 1960 it was declared a natural monument and included in the list of protected objects in Lithuania:
The Verpste is a traditional wooden spindle:
Puntukas is a glacial granite erratic probably from Finland. It measures 6.9 metres in length, 6.7 m in width, and 5.7 m in depth (including 1.5 m underground). It weighs about 265 tons. In 1943, sculptor Bronius Pundzius engraved portraits and quotes from last wills of Lithuanian pilotsSteponas Darius and Stasys Girenas for the 10th anniversary of their deaths during the transatlantic flight with Lituanica:
