not even sure what this animal is

 

What is this animal? Looks like a doe to me! I love it! If it is, she just might go on my list I'm creating!

Looks like a llama! lol

 

You're probably right; Peru would more likely use the likeness of a llama over a doe..

 

Correct.... llama.

 

love the allagotor (crocadile?) coin

 

Calum, that is an Echidna on the Aussie 5 cent piece...I still have a bunch of them from my trip there...the lyrebird on another Aussie coin is cool too. Echidna's are similar to hedgehogs, but I think bigger, and they also are one of the only species of mammal that lay eggs! Pretty cool to see them running around in the wild when I was in Aus. as well!

 

Griffen
Sphinx
Pegasus
Chimaera

Reality is over-rated.

The horse and dove are thrown in for no extra change but don't fit the theme.

 

Who can't love a coin with dancing elephants?
