Elephant Coinage

Ok, lets see something different. How about your elephant coingae. Here is my most recent and only one I'm certain I have. A Kushan tetradrachm of Huvishka I (152-192 AD), Jammu-Kashmir, 24mm and 10.1g, bronze. From Pigmy to Columbian Mammoth, lets see them

Can't remember where else you would have elephants on coinages. Maybe Thailand, Sri Lanka, India and some other African nations would have them.

 

I already posted my elephant coin at the same time as my "snakes on a coin".Julius Caesar with elephant stomping a snake (talk about Freudian symbolism)...two for the price of one..

 

The Arms of Coventry

...include a working elephant!

 

This one came to mind for me.



There might be others.

 

Heres a nice one, Belgian Congo.

 

this is cool.

Sukhothai era bullet coin from Thailand.

 

here is a large pic of the Somalia coin from my collection. Looking into it I found that this coin isnt even in circulation in Somalia as coins arent in regular use there (save coins of other nations)...its hard for them just to get paper money printed.



There are quite a few Roman Elephant coins.

This is an odd looking Elephant

 

Sure, why not Those are beauties as well too:thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
