It is indeed a 1 Euro. I try to mix up the scales a little. And i must admit, it tickles me to occasionally use an obscure low-circulation coin for scale.

We are on the same page in spirit. however, showing a solved puzzle is not always a spoiler, even a packing puzzle. Most packers of this type, and the much more complex ones, are almost always shown solved (see Jonathan's etsy page). And they will be shipped to you solved. Just dump them out and you will see how unspoiled you really are! Also a "fully solved" image would contain all 69,415 variants :) mike dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-10120798003304310782016-04-11T18:42:27.067+01:002016-04-11T18:42:27.067+01:00Or 2 Euro coin, I mean.
