As Dorado enters the race with another coat of arms. Has anyone ever noticed on this coin the unicorn of Scotland is chained while in the official pix released has no chains, and on the official there is one more lion image? Hmmmm, sublimity me thinks. I count 9 Lions and a unicorn for 10 + 2 + 12. Where dem fish?

Dinnertime! Mac, I actually counted 19 shadows(2 partials) plus there ain't a human on it so's you get the bonus point. I won't say different kind tho, I never dated one so they ain't real! (20 sharks + 1 kind + bonus = 22) McShilling 22 points Joseph7420 18 Points Dorado 12 points  Edited by Crazyb0

Really good coins so far! Having gone through the coins that I have photographed, I think that the best I can do is six (ermine tails) on this Gros of Brittany. It was minted between 1458 and 1488 AD. Here is a link to a prior thread where I talked in detail about the ermines: http://goccf.com/t/295053  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Russia, 1916 20 kopeks:   left-side shields, cropped:  right-side shields, cropped:  It's hard to get an accurate count, but -- main photo: 1 eagle + 1 horse + 1 dragon left-side: 3 eagles (+ maybe a dog or two) right-side: 2 horses (+ maybe 2 more dragons) Total = 8 animals, 3 types = 11 points (maybe more) This assumes St George is human (Lebanese soldier), and the dragon is really a crocodile. |

I don't really want to win so I hope some one can beat me because I don't have a clue on what to post for the next coin.

I don't think there is going to be any beating your score. Didn't the rules say something about deferring to Jbuck if need be? Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 |

Pepectonius, little did you realize just what's on your coin. That is the Lesser Coat of Arms of the Russian Empire. There are animals all over it, more than you thought!  Congratulations, you have soared int the lead. I probably could have given more seeing there are eagles on the crowns I think, just can't see them so you get THE Funky Chicken awarded to you. Spence, neat coin and background  , Chafemasterj, a bee is an insect, but I'll give it to you because it ain't a human, so here's the stats so far: Pepactonius 26 points McShilling 22 points Joseph7420 18 Points Dorado 12 points Chafemasterj 8 points Spence 7 points WHAT! Did everybody else get fed to the fishies? |

Who would have guessed that coats of arms had so many individual animals?
By the way, I have that Tonga 50 fish coin, but I do not plan to post it-yet (or am I bluffing?)
This should encourage others to post it before me.
Or, @jbuick could bribe me, and I will give away my turn (again, or am I bluffing?)
