| Information on Coin Glass by Fostoria |
| Coin Glass was made by the Fostoria Glass Company during the years of 1957 to 1982. Coin Glass was designed by a U. S. Glass pattern that had been made earlier. Coin Glass has embossed coins which makes the pattern. Four of the pieces have gold gilding on the crystal coins. They are the covered cigarette box, wedding box, candy jar and the decanter. These pieces are higher in price than the plain crystal pieces. There are two versions of Coin. Avon Coin was produced by Fostoria for the Avon Company. They were given to their workers as a reward. The Canadian Coin was designed by Fostoria for Canada’s 100 year Commemoration from 1867 to 1967. The colors for the Coin glass are ruby, blue, emerald green, olive green, amber and crystal. There are many reproductions out there today. The colors for the reproductions are green, blue, crystal and red. Both the blue and the emerald green are not like the original colors, so they are easy to spot. This information for this article was taken from the Elegant Glass Book by Debbie and Randy Coe.
