Thought it may be a fun topic to start a thread of Bears on coins!

Looking forward to seeing some nice California pieces, some twonies from up north and maybe some coins from Bern?

Figured I get it started with these pieces...

Some nice Polar Bears from Greenland!

A neat Nurnberg-Furth 20 Pfennig Strassenbahn (streetcar) Token depicting the bears at the zoo!

(Mods, feel free to move if I placed in wrong section)

Looking forward to a fun thread!

Apparently pandas are classified as bears whereas koalas aren't.

That said, here are some photos.

I'm surprised no one has posted this $8.00 Grizzly yet.
It's from the 2004 coin & stamp set

The 1/24 thaler is the size of a US dime.

It's a shame they recently had to kill the last wild bear in Switzerland.

I think they went overboard with the fur, it kinda looks like a porcupine.
