I have never seen a crab at the zoo LGL, but I have seen one at Red Lobster... LOL

 

Here's the whole zoo from a friend of mine who stopped work on it a few years ago, so I don't think that it is up to date:

Nice and also funny design. And just in case anybody wonders - that Latvian piece is not 100 years old, hehe. On the edge you find the year 2012, along with the names of the country ("Latvijas Republika") and the central bank.

Another piece that commemorates a zoo (image from muenzen.eu) was issued in Austria, ten years ago. It features the Schönbrunn zoological garden, next to the castle with the same name, in Vienna ...

Well, let it be zoo. But let it be an exotic zoo

 

Hippopotamus from Mali.

 

Dancing elephants from the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland.

 

A hippo Eugene. Way to go man. :yes:

 

Andy Panda....

 

A crocodile from Kazakhstan. Actually, in Kazakhstan crocodiles aren't present and never was.

 

No croc in sight there. Those three coins from 1992/93 (1, 3 and 5 tenge) show different decorative fittings. The beast on the 3 tenge piece is supposed to be a fish with the head of a boar. Ten years later, by the way, Kazakhstan issued a series of 100 tenge coins that commemorated 10 years of the new national currency - and that boar-fish showed up there again ...

The Kaz croc looks more Aztec to me. :smile

 

They are nice ones, with the eyes and defined snouts. The only better examples come with the city name of Olbia on them.

Btw, they are circa 400BC typically.

Oh my a rhino. Cool
