"Coins with Insects"

spirityoda1

"Coins with Insects" is 1 of the topical/themed coin collections I am doing. This 1st coin from Slovakia is a beetle cross. I was very impressed with its design.

The proof version took me 14 years of searching Ebay to finally find 1. very scarce...

Great theme, I have a few in my themed 1984 collection too, some rare, like the Trinidad butterfly.

I have the 1982 Trinidad and Tobago silver butterfly coin. I bought it for $100 by itself. Those sets are very expensive. Check out my "coins with insects" collection link: https://collectivecoin.com/spirityoda/hDU8RfxfZCIb6xD0pqGd/nJ4jcxZJePbbAuChbguO

I understand scorpions are not insects. There are perfectionist out there.

@1984worldcoins I like those butterfly coins very much. PM sent. Those are on my want list. Especially the silver 1 on the right. Is the copper looking 1 copper or silver toned ???
