    That's supposed to be a dog guarding the treasure chest on this very scarce Martin Van Buren political / Hard Times token. Some say it looks like a monkey.


    I think the dog resembles Van Buren. Or vice-versa.

    I love depictions of animals on coins and currency.
    This super fun thread inspired me to pull out my foreign collection, some going all the way back to my childhood- yes, a VERY LONG time ago, and shoot some new pics. Thanks for kicking me up into shooting something other than scenics and wildlife Steph! Lets keep it rolling!
