Condition is pretty awful but image is nice
Canada 25 Cents 1999

 

Hey guys, I like you both and also those coins, but this is not the uno thread. Theme is still 'animals'.

 

LOL, there is a horse on mine

 

Oops! Right, sorry 'bout that! Now I will find an animal...1914 Thailand 1 baht, elephants

 

Canada 25 Cents 1999

 

Sudan - 50 Piastres, 2006

 

Musk ox, 2010 Greenland 2 kroner (fantasy issue)

 

Australia - Shilling, 1943

Merino ram

 

1940 NZ six pence, bird of some sort

 

Very strange animals. But animals too...

 

2009 Czech 50 korun, very strange lion?

 

Thailand - Quarter Baht, BE2472 - 1929 Rama VII Y#48

 

Under the elephant there it says "25 S.T.", meaning 25 satang. (yes, that is 1/4 baht) I have learned to read Thai, though slowly and with a lot of gaps and errors. One more animal, a Macaw, Colombia 2017 200 pesos

 

Running dog (counterstamp) on an 1859 Indian Head Cent.

I have the 1995 Czech Republic mint set. Hard to see in this picture, but the strange lion is actually slightly different on each coin.

 

The Standard Catalog also lists pre 1939 coins as "Kingdom Of Siam". Reluctant to post using that name for lack of knowledge of the history behind the change. How is that name now thought about in the country?

 

The center one looks like a camel, Eugene, but the others are mythical critters I think.

I have a whole bunch of barnyard animals on coins...all counterstamped of course.

Here's a duck on an 1853 S/L Quarter.
