    My only ancient elephant is (seller identified) a fals from the Umayyad Dynasty (AD 661-750). Rather ugly, but I only paid $2.99 for it. IMG_8748.JPG IMG_8751.JPG

    Great elephant coins, folks!

    I especially love elephants, lions, dolphins on ancient coins.

    Here is an Alexandrian drachm with an elephant quadriga, watch where you step!
