Nice to see some older creatures here!

I didn't know Siberia minted its own coins, nice to learn something too.

The little porcupine on this jeton of the French (and Neopolitan) King Louis XII dates back, roughly, to the end of the 15th century. The Order of the Porcupine, established by Louis' grandfather, was said to represent invincibility.
