Coins from "the Lion City!" In the old maps in the libraries here, Singapore was spelled Singha Pur. One of the Indian dialects meaning Lion and City.
This ATB Quarter is the only one where the design encroaches onto the circular border. (Another piece of useless information that's in the back of my head.)
Nice topic/ coins!!!! I love the 1974/75/76/77/78/79 World Con servation of Endangered Wildlife" series. Also I have about 600 + AV coins with mythological and real wildlife/ here are some to start.
I've posted this om a site or two many years ago. A friend started this coinsite dedicated strictly to all coins struck with animals on them. It used to be very complete, but not sure it is now. Any way, enjoy! http://www.coinzoo.net/
