I can't think of any off hand mohrt, but I'm curious why you asked. Are you thinking of starting a "theme" collection of coins depicting trumpets? It sounds like it would be a fun thing to do. Bruce
Here is a French collector coin from 2003 (commemorating the sale of Louisiana to the US) which features a trumpet: http://www.muenzauktion.com/poetz/pic/1_5eurolouisianagesamt.jpg And this is a British coin from 2006 (issued for the Queen's 80th birthday) with three trumpets: http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/pics/dec/500/5pd06r.jpg Christian
Here is one with bugles/trumpets. British, 1993. There are 40 bugles on the reverse, and there are 8 bugles in the hands of the horsemen on the obverse!
You might get more replies to this message if it were in the "Coin Chat" section instead of "Contests". Could one of the mods move this thread?
That's the best reason I can think of to collect something mohrt...because you'd enjoy doing it. Have fun with it! Bruce
Where would I find this for sale? [edit] found one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200450318399#ht_4821wt_1238
I sent you two private messages. One with a link to one of the 2006 coins (mentioned by chrisild) and another Private Message with links to where you can find the 1993 coin with all the horses and 40 bugle bells. -Brandon
Nice pick up mohrt. I hope you like the coin, this coin is a beauty. I have both the Silver and the Clad proofs and they are stunning in hand! I'll keep my eyes peeled for other "trumpet" coins. -Brandon

Wait - do horns count too? If yes, here is a coin from the GDR, also about the history of the postal service: http://www.muenzauktion.com/weller/pic/g6003.jpg And the Austrian Philharmonics bullion coin: http://www.austrian-mint.at/images/content/pdfs/Download/Philharmoniker_Silber_2008.jpg ...

If I remember the 1945 S Mercury Dime has a variety called the "Trumpet Tail." Not a true trumpet, but still of interest.
