If anyone wants credit for a national shield rather than city/provincial, they should mention it. Not sure how you want to score mine. Should be at least 11 points. |

What can I say, I am on a roll. I suppose keeping that world collection with the Halfcrowns help. Give me a few hours and I will come up with something real easy - no more changing rules nonsense like last time. You will not be disappointed.  The challenge will NOT feature any of these! |

Okay here it is The Challenge ..... MINI COIN ZOO This is a 1981 5 Aurar coin of Iceland, it is 15mm in diameter and very small. It shows a Ray (Or skate my fish skills are lacking). Your goal is to find the smallest coin with an animal life form on it.Animal includes any mammal (Except humans and fossil hominids like Australopithecus etc), Reptile, Bird, Fish, Amphibian, Insect and must be a real animal. Exclusions - All plant life, bacteria and plankton, mythological or fantasy animals like Centaurs, Satyrs, Hippogriffs, Anthromorphic animals like Donald Duck and Alien or extra terrestial lifeforms. Medals and tokens are acceptable - but fantasy coinages are not - real countries preferred. For hammered and ancient coins - the size is dictated by the widest diameter on the coin. You can not use the Icelandic coin shown above as your entry. As this is hard, I will be offering PARTICIPATION POINTS for every coin type with an animal that is smaller than a US dime - you must have the coin next to a dime to get the point. 1 point per coin and no extra points for different dates or mints - one point per type. NO DIME - no point, one side is acceptable - anyone photoshopping a coin to make it smaller is instantly disqualifed and their points are forfeited. If no one can find an animal coin smaller than the 15mm 5 Aurar - the winner is the one with the most participation points - Good luck and let the mini coin zoo begin. Edited by Princetane

@pt, just for clarification purposes, need the full animal be part of the design or can it be just a part (e.g. the head)?
