Coins with children

Are there any coins out there that have pictures of children? I know there are some notes, but I don't think I've seen any coins.

There is a crown from Alderney that has a choir boy on it I think.
The Sac dollar has a baby.

 

The Iowa State Quarter.

 

I believe that there are some Canadian coins as well. I'll check the 1999 / 2000 Millenium Quarters.

 

This is a winner:

 

Some ancient coins have Baby Jesus on them

Couple more that I can think of:

World Children Summit in New York. Not too sure why Russia under that era would commemorate such coins



Project hope



I just wished I owned a 1741 Ionna III ruble - that is perhaps the only time when a baby Tsar ruled Russia for a short period of time.

Didn't Australia have a 50 cent coin for the International Year of the Child? I'll look when I get home, but I'm sure someone here can find it for me before then.

 

Thanks for reminding me Topher - doh



It's actually Year of Family I think, not too sure if there is International Year of Children. But it does feature children in abstract form.

 

Good One !

 

I think you're right, but it triggered your memory, which is all I really wanted to accomplish.

 

Clinker helped on this one

His trivia had me looking at coins from the Philippines when I saw this one.

 

Look for some spanish crowns of the 1890s. They had the head of an infant king. Lots of others in history like that, however most are very expensive.

 

hahaha we think similarly

 

isn't that a kid on the back of the bicentianial quarter?

 

There are lots of tokens with children, or virtually any other topic one can think of.

 

An interesting "children" coin is the Hungarian 50 forint circulating commem issued two years ago. Its theme is the International Children's Safety Service: http://english.mnb.hu/Engine.aspx?page=mnben_emlekpenz&ContentID=7398
The child drawing depicted on the coin was taken from the logo of that service. http://www.ngysz.hu/

Not a very good pic, but it's the best I have.

 

Is that a coin or a silver round?
