wheatiefan Pillar of the Community United States 507 Posts	Posted 09/04/2012 03:43 am I've been hesitant to post this since I wasn't sure if it was a chicken or not. I've always assumed it was but cannot confirm it. Picture from Don's World Coin Gallery. Japan 5 yen late 1940s-ish. Report this Post to the Staff

Litotes Pillar of the Community Norway 510 Posts	Posted 09/08/2012 04:47 am Quote: I wonder if the Norwegian 2 Ore might depict a Black Grouse. They are known and indeed hunted in Scandinavia. I know Krause has it as a Moor hen but I think they are wrong. thai-vic, you are correct, it is indeed a Grouse, or a "Tiur" as they are known in Norwegian. Report this Post to the Staff
wheatiefan Pillar of the Community United States 507 Posts	Posted 09/23/2012 12:47 pm If you search for ancient coins from the city of Himera, many of them feature roosters. You can also search for 'gallo' or 'cock'. The auction results show high valued ones but I'm sure you can find cheaper examples. Many of these date to the 500s or 400s BC. I will try to link an image from Classical Numismatic Gallery: -wheatiefan Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/23/2012 5:40 pm That's an amazing coin in terms of style, seeing how it's nearer to the pre-Classical era. Report this Post to the Staff

wdpayne New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 09/27/2012 5:21 pm The 1953 and 1959 10 Sen coin from Cambodia has a nice rooster on it. I'll bet she would like to have a 1897-1914 France gold 20 francs as a pendant. Report this Post to the Staff
