The full Guyana animal proof set

Yesterday I uploaded my new 1 dollar Guyana proof coin. People seemed to like that, so I am sharing the others from the series. The ones I have are half from 1976 and half from 1977. I am just showing the interesting side, in my opinion, and one scan of the other side. That side is the same on all the coins. Here is the 1, 5 and 10 cent. And again, the coins are proofs, but shiny coins don't scan well.

Here's the 25 cent, 50 cent and the 1 dollar again.

 

And this is the other side. They're all the same design on this side.

 

Certainly, it's very nice and I never saw it before.

 

The themes of those coins refer to the Kwanzaa Principles by the way.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

 

Thank you for sharing those images with us! What is a little odd is that "endurance" ($1 coin) is apparently not one of those principles; maybe it is covered by one of the other Swahili terms used to describe the Kwanzaa days. But the others - the series goes up to the $50 silver piece - do match.

I LOVE the birds.

 

Very cool coins. I like the gator most.

 

Thanks everyone. It's a nice set and I have a thing for animal coins. There are a few higher denomination coins in the series, but they have mintages in the hundreds and they have people, not animals, so I'm not really interested.
