Animal Coins of the World

Comment by Purandare Ashok on August 19, 2009 at 8:50am

Hello, as u must be aware that copper coins of Tipu Sultan bear Elephant
also Mysore Cash series copper coins bear elephant. I have a good collection
of various types of fish (copper coins). It will take a long time to identify these
coins and prepare a detailed work sheet (weight, diameter, shape, type of fish
variety etc).

Ceylon also had coins depicting elephants as well.

I wouldn't be too surprised if India depicted an elephant on a coin.

I know that Tanzania & Uganda have both had medal-coins depicting elephants,as did Rhodesia & Nyasaland.

Bangladesh has depicted a tiger's head on its 25 Poisha coins.

Amit & Purandare,don't forget about Ratlam issuing 1 Paisa coins depicting a monkey on the obverse.

The monkey is representing Hanuman,the Hindu monkey god.
