I suspect this is actually an Ibex, but horns and hooves seems close enough.  |

Not sure that I have many with the whole deer, but this antler should get me half credit.  It is a Pfennig from the German City State of Siesia (Sorau mint) minted between 1340 and 1424 AD.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

@pepac - nice design. @owatchman - I did not know Canada had a Pronghorn Antelope coin. I always think of the following when I see one of these animals: I have always read they do not interbreed with whitetail deer. https://answers.yahoo.com/question/...guccounter=1 This bit of taxidermy was at what used to the be the Thunderbird Motel near the Mall of Americas in Y2K. The following animal was in the same hallway with a bunch of mounted Pronghorns and Whitetails. Now THAT I would love to see on a coin! Maybe 1 oz rounds?    Edited by Earle42

I wonder why some are shown with antlers and some without.
