Greenland & Canada coins depict polar bears. Some of the Greenland tokens depict the bear standing. I'll see if I have some photos.
Another polar bear, this time from Denmark. In 2007 the Danish mint issued a 20 kroner circulating commem (brass) dedicated to the International Polar Year. The image below shows the 100 kr silver coin, and there is also a 1,000 kr gold piece. All three have the same design. Christian
The mythological section of the zoo might include winged horses like Pegasos along with samples of chimaeras & griffins. I’m not sure where the Centaurs would fit at the zoo. On which side of the bars would they reside? The silver coin with Pegasos is a Greek stater. The bronze coin with the centaur is a Roman antoninianus.
I just got some great coins to post here (I think one hasn't been featured yet that I'm absolutely in love with) but I can't seem to get a decent picture tonight. Tomorrow!!!
Well posted these elsewhere but will add these here. The new "zoo" my girl bought me just so I could have some animal coins to post here lol.
I got one of those roosters you have mrweaseluv, the one that's near the iguana. Here's mine. I really like this coin, the design just speaks to me.
