Thanks everyone for posting their bird coins, most of these I haven't seen before. Lots of beautiful coins, I can't wait to add some of these to my collection. I haven't been on here for a while, life has been really busy as of late.

Most of the Euro are new to me as well, I don't have many Euro at all. They're pretty hard to find here in Australia.

I'm a notice ornithologist, I've birded everywhere I've traveled to in the last 11 years. So I thought what a great collection for me, coins with birds on them. It hasn't been growing for very long far, with only 24 circulated coins, not much considering how many bird coins there are.


Crjenkins, When I was in grade school I wanted to be an ornithologist when I grew up. They called me "bird brain" in 4th grade because of my obsession and extensive knowledge of birds.

Recently, when I discovered the 1894 & 1895 German New Guinea coins (10 Pfennig, 1/2, 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 Mark), I decided I want to start a bird collection, as well. I do not yet own one of these beauties, as they are a little rare and expensive (honestly I would prefer to hold out for the silver). I am not sure if it would be allowed to post an image I do not own.

Here are a couple of mine which I love partly because the crane is my favorite bird:

Japan 1923 50 Sen:

Coins-With-Birds-On-Them

Japan 1957 100 Yen:

The Japanese 100 Yen is one of my favorite bird coins, I would really love to have one of these with birdies on both sides but as far as I can make out, they're pretty scarce:

These are past silver bin finds, however, so they are far from perfect.

1974 British Virgin Islands Silver $1:


Coins-With-Birds-On-Them

1972 Trinidad and Tobago Silver $5:


Coins-With-Birds-On-Them

1946 Guatemala Silver 1/4 Quetzal:

And here is a Zimbabwe cent, which I like, with an African Fish Eagle on top of a crown:

I have others not on this thread, but these seemed more interesting at the moment.
