Just had a fun morning imaging coins and I thought I'd post this one here for all the dog lovers.

Please post any coin with a doggie device.

BTW that's a chocolate lab :)

    Beautiful sighthounds, Stork. I've got to keep hunting for these.

    I've avoided that Somaliland coin though, because it looks like the artist may have designed it without actually having seen a greyhound.

    Yes-I'm a dog lover. Labs, along with Boston Terriers are my favorite breeds.

    Probably more like a Sloughi or a flat coated Saluki or something...but it's the most modern coin like thing I've got right now :). Hopefully someone has a nice Irish Wolfhound one to post.

    As an SIU alum, it’s not a Saluki, however could be a Phararoh Hound

    For what it's worth, Numista thinks it's an Italian Greyhound. Pharaoh Hounds are almost always shown with big alert ears.
