Some of my ancestors were likely Viking (Swedish/Norwegian/Scandinavian/Cree) Some of my favorite coin designs are of ships. There is already a ship thread here. Show me something that has to do with ships or with water or something along that vein but no ships/canoes/boats and no animal life as the primary design. My examples...   |

From 1937 until 1970, just the lighthouse! Another British coin with a lighthouse is the 2014 £2 coin commemorating Trinity House, the association that looks after the UK's lighthouses and lightships:   |

Water for miles, not a ship in sight! The 2005 US Westward Journey Nickel Well played!  A fantastic example! |

This one has an anchor too. Nice coin, but a ship also features prominently in the design. The OP was looking for coins without ships on them - "no ships/canoes/boats and no animal life" was the specific instruction given. I'm not trying to deter posts or act like the "post police." but I do think we should all stay true to the intent of the threads in which we participate and honor the intentions of their OPs.

act like the "post police." Not such a bad job really. One could even think of themselves as de-escalation specialists, Lord knows many times the heat can flare between virtual combatants in places like this. I was actually hoping for some fishermen in slickers and rain caps, islands, fishing poles, coral reefs and such. Quote:
stay true to the intent of the threads While I do not disagree... lol, I guess the claim could be made that, the primary design on the coin in question is the naval officers and not the ship in the background concluding it in fair play for the responder. No? Cheers from Canada! |
