jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 12/12/2014 1:40 pm 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!
