Cartifact Gallery of Jan Smits

There are some other cartifact pages available on the Internet, though at the moment there seems to be a somewhat predominant interest of Dutchmen in this field, at least for providing their collecting fury on the Web:

Maps on Coins, (Peter van der Krogt)
Maps on License Plates (Peter van der Krogt)
Maps on stamps, (Menno-Jan Kraak), very well documented about maps and their production and use. And a site of maps of The Netherlands or parts thereof on stamps
Portuguese Discoveries Commemorative Coins, (Peter van der Krogt)
The Gifts 4 u shop offers many fine antique globe bars for the wealthy.

Odd, unusual, distorted, satirical, fraudulous and more of these kind of maps can be found at:
