<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 4576858, member: 26302&quot;]I accidentally started this on another thread, but I thought it might be fun to list animal on ancient coins in terms of rarity. I will throw something against the wall, if you disagree or want to add to it, just post and we can update it. It could actually be helpful to newcomers to the hobby if they want to buy a coin of their favorite animal to know how challenging it will be, (*cough* rhinos *cough*). Sorry, it still greaves me personally the low number of rhino coins, but I digress.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a rough attempt to start it:</p><p><br /></p><p>Very Common: Eagle, horses, lions, elephants, snakes</p><p>Common: Dolphins, &quot;fish&quot;, bull/cow, Owl, bee, turtle,</p><p>Scarce: Pigs/boar, camel, crabs, mollusks, dogs/wolf, chickens, ducks, gazelle/deer, crocodile, goat, peacock, crayfish, rabbit/hare, donkey/mule, scorpion, octopus</p><p>Rare: Hippos, Ostrich, swan, stork/ibis, leopard/snow leopard, raven, fox, moose, manta ray</p><p>Very Rare: Apes, (1 type), rhino (2 types), Bear, (know of 1 now), seal</p><p>Extinct:</p><p><br /></p><p>I had Bear as extinct but someone kindly showed me a Hadrian provincial with one. Any animals you would expect on ancient coins but are not there?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
