    Unique silver coin that indicates the direction of Mecca/Qibla thanks to the special inscriptions on the coin, and a magnetic spoon.
    The coin was voted as "Coin of the Year 2012", winner in "Most Innovative Coin" Category.

    This one is nice, it's way more creative than that Jonah one. I might pick one up.

    For sure it will be a nice gadget to keep on a desk: keep the coin in its capsule to preserve integrity, and lay the magnetic spoon on it so can get oriented towards the Mecca/Qibla.

    Design is also innovative, the signs around the coin border indicates also the biggest city you can find to that direction. Explained in the booklet that comes with the coin.

    Alex.

    There are 10 categories "coin of the year" presented every year. The best coin among the winner of 10 categories will be elected as "the best coin of the year". 2012 best coin of the year is Jonah in the whale.

    Thank you chinsiong1967 for information, I didn't know about the best of the best :)
    Yeah, "Jonah in the whale" is a wonderful, simple, elegant coin.
