Quote: Beautiful coins, triggersmob! I really like the French coin Thanks Hondo, that one is from French Somaliland. I suppose it sort of fits here, there are wings on the cap.

1968 Uganda 1 Shilling's reverse features the grey crowned crane. It is Uganda's national bird, featured on the country's coat of arms (obverse) and flag. This bird is a sacred symbol for Kenya, Namibia, Zambia, and South Africa. Photo of a pair of these cranes from WikiCommons.  
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
