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.

Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
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!
