Like where you select coins based on a particular animal that is on them, rather than by the type of coin?

I may do this.

Owls are one of my favorite animals, and I have just discovered that there are lots and lots of coins from all over the world with owls on them. Some are just common currency coins, others are very exotic...

An owl type set would be very neat. Some very nice owl designs on Greek coins.

I have a nice stash of bear coins and crocodile coins, but nothing I've actively worked at, just nice designs I've put aside going through lots...

I do know of a collector who has out together a nice type set of animal coins, some fairly obscure animals can be found on some moderns
Rest in Peace

Yes, my husband and I have been collecting critter coins for a couple of years. It is strictly just for fun and since he loves owls I'm sure he'd want everything pictured in your post!

Ok folks, I have begun my owl coin collection.

I started off with this. It cost $3.25 including shipping. It is a Slovenia 20 stotinov.

I think the little owl on it is terribly cute.

He's like "what you never seen an owl on a coin before? "
