How about an owl?

This is the reverse of a Numismatic and Antiquarian Society of Philadelphia medal, minted by J K Davison.

No pet horse, but a nice coin from my daughter's collection of animal coins.

Stella · May 20, 2021 6:03PM

I love this idea, @coinsarefun ! Cute dogs, too.

Given that I collect birds of the world, I have too many to choose from, but here are a couple to start.

Here’s my “Chrome” California Commem. By the way, I strongly suggest that @coinsarefun edit his original post to add that coins with Eagles are excluded.

Here is a scarce Hard Times Token, a Low 57, which was issued for Martin Van Buren's 1840 presidential campaign.

The question is, what is guarding the treasure chest? Is it a dog, mountain lion or monkey?

Cucumbor · May 21, 2021 5:51AM

This has to be one of the most appealling modern world coins IMO

How about a couple of plow horses? This was issued during U. S. Grant's 1868 presidential campaign. It refers to the concession Grant gave to the Confederate soldiers during the surrender at Appomattox. He allowed the solders to take their horses home for the spring planting season. It was very much in keeping with Grant’s campaign theme, “Let us have peace.”

The best rendition of an American Bald Eagle on any US coin in my opinion and our current Boston Dylan.

From my Collection of Special Medals for U.S. Government Agencies. In this case here, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) 2nd highest award, the Distinguished Intelligence Medal.

Awarded for performance of outstanding services or for achievement of a distinctly exceptional nature in a duty or responsibility, the results of which constitute a major contribution to the mission of the Agency.

These examples were struck by the U.S. Mint. Frank Gasparro design: Obverse (FG between the right talon and eagle's tail) and reverse (FG in the semi-circle bottom on the right). I call this the menacing eagle design.

Two types of reverse engraving pads. Awardee name hidden on purpose (these are jock strap medals).

Great thread.
So much great material so far.
I actually have a huge themed collection of coins with animals.
Most aren’t photographed yet. One of the few is shared here.
And my best friend!

There are many animals on ancient coins...and they're fun to collect. The emperor Gallienus is famous for his "zoo series". Here are some of them from my own collection
