    I probably should know this, but is that a goose or a swan?

    The legend around the top (surrounding the chyrsanthemum crest) reads 'two hundred pieces in exchange for 1 yen'.

    It's an emu. Think "Ostrich Lite". ;)

    Coins larger than 30 mm:

    Galba sestertius, ca. 68-69 AD.

    New theme, using the same coin: coins of short-reigning and/or ill-fated rulers.

    (And before somebody posts one of those "coins" with the current US president on them ... don't even go there.)

    There is a Swan on this coin. It is a Black Swan, From the COA of Western Australia.
    I did not think Stork Was asking about the Emu.
    Look a little closer.

    Your call. Less than a year or two, I suppose.

    But that's a moot point, since @Pickin and Grinin has given us a new theme. The "24-hour rule" had not yet come into play, but we'll run with it.

    A monument:

    German States (Saxony) silver 3 mark proof, Battle of Leipzig centennial commemorative, 1913-E

    [​IMG]

    Obverse: the Völkerschlachtdenkmal (Monument to the Battle of the Nations).
    Reverse: Imperial German eagle, head left, crown above.

    OK, now back to my earlier theme, but with a different coin: short-reigning or ill-fated rulers.

    Here is a silver denarius of the Roman emperor Otho, who ruled for only three months during a time of civil war, from January to April of 69 AD. He was the second emperor of the "Year of the Four Emperors".
    [​IMG]

    You may post a coin of any ruler who reigned for a short time (say less than a year or two), or who met a bad end by assassination or execution.

    (This happens to be most Roman emperors, after a certain point in their history - it was not the safest job around! Otho committed suicide after his faction lost a battle - I've heard it implied that he did this as a noble way to prevent further bloodshed, though it wasn't to be. The "Year of Four Emperors" was only halfway done.)

    Kennedy was short lived and ill-fated:
    Kennedy Slab Error.jpg
    (Note the slab error. Which is it? Is it a 1994-S or 1992-S? Is it made of silver or is it clad? :D).

    Next theme is portrait facing left.
