I seem to recall an elephant being used on an earlier European piece like a penny or something, but I can't seem to find any information on it. In any case, if my half-memory is correct it is now worth a tidy sum.

Svslav posted several pieces including an Isle of Man crown with a cat. Man issues a different crown each year with a different breed of cat on it. I think I'm up to 28 different breeds now.

I counted 19 Manx cat crowns in my collection, though I guess I missed the fact that these are supposed to be circulating coins which IOM crowns are not.

They started the series with a Manx cat but the following crowns featured various breads. It's a Japanese Bobtail cat on my example.
