Need to find a coin for a YN

ajaan

My friend's son is getting into coin collecting. He goes through junk boxes at coin shows with his dad and picks out coins with animals on them. I want to get the kid a big coin with an animal on it. I'm thinking crown size. Coin has to be CuNi and NOT real expensive. Any suggestions?

COSTA RICA SILVER COIN 100 COLONES KM 206. A big coin, though it is silver.

Post 1928 Ireland offers some choices-

Maybe there is an Isle of Man Crown that would work

ajaan

Thanks Frank. Not expensive.

Critters on coins?

Ireland, man. You can get a whole set.

Or just a halfcrown with the horsie on it. There are CuNi examples. I had a silver one I'd have sold at melt, but... well... I sold it.

I'll look around.

Just click the "http" button and copy your link in the first text box. You can put whatever you want in the second text box. In this case, I put the same thing in both boxes.

Thank you IloiloKano. I'll try it next time. Don .. I'd suggest Belgian Congo, Lithuania, or Botswana. Lithuania made some really pretty coins before the War and the African countries have large mammals that beat others, hands down. Email me Don .. I probably have lots of things that fit the bill and I'll drop it by next time in Buffalo.

check out Bosnia. they issued a series of "Preserve Planet Earth" coins from 1993-1998. a good variety of animals to choose from. they also issued a series of "suverenas" with various horses on them, during the same time from. most of these can be found for around $12-20, if that is inexpensive enough for you.
