The coin with the dodo is great, and yes, extinct. The asiatic elephant, however, is still around, though most are domesticated.

What is nice with your coin gxseries, is that both sides show extinct or extinguishing species

Cucumbor

I LOVE that coin from Finland, I'll have to try and get myself one. Scandinavian design is just out of this world, especially from that period.

 

:hammer::hail: I love all the coins and the history behind them. Thanks for looking. Have more. Cheryl

 

That reminded me - Russia did have coins and still are striking coins under a program called "Red Book" More information can be seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Data_Book_of_the_Russian_Federation

Here are some pictures:







The rest of the red book series can be found on the Central Bank of Russia website: http://www.cbr.ru/eng/bank-notes_coins/Base_of_memorable_coins/

The 2008 coins aren't out yet but the rest are. Quite interesting and worthwhile reading when you have the time.

 

I'm lost for words, they are beautiful coins. Thanks for sharing them. Cheryl
