Can anyone suggest any coins, preferably crown-sized, that features a bat design? The cooler the bat image, the better?. (This would be part of a set I'm putting together for my child, so I'd like to be able to locate any suggested coin for $50 or less.)

I tried looking for any coin with a wild turkey on it and could not find one.
The closest I came was a New Orleans Mardi Gras token on Ebay.

The bat is a good luck animal in Chinese mythology; several fantasy coins and charms from there and some examples of "hell money" have bats on them. But that's probably not really what you're after, either. I'm not aware of any genuine specimens of currency with a bat, but you're probably more likely to find them from China than from elsewhere.
In the mediaeval series, will a badly drawn angel suffice? He's got no arms...
French feudal states, Bishopric of Valence, denier, c. 1300 AD. A denier's quite a bit smaller than your "crown-sized" target, but it was the closest thing to a bat I could find.

Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD.
Inquiring minds wanna know... why are you making your child a "batty" collection? Does he or she have certain... uhm... special powers or sumtin'?
Aside to Sapyx: I LOVE the badly-drawn angel, I may make a size exception and put it in the bat slot....!

Which remain perhaps the only Stephen Kings I haven't read. I've been meaning to give those a go, but wanna make sure I lay out a good chunk of time before I dive into them. I am a voracious reader and can put away some fairly large tomes, but Stephen King himself mentioned how he and his books (particularly the Dark Tower series) are singlehandedly responsible for the massacre of entire forests in Canada. I think I also read where he considers those his magnum opus?
The Annam 5 tien is for sale, but not close to the $50 I'm afraid. The medal is in that price range, but it's only halfcrown size.
