Mongolia -- 1000 togrog, 2015:

This lovely dolphin appears on a 1 gros silver coin from the province of Dauphine (located in today's south-east France), dated sometime 1364-80. (There are also two small dolphins on the reverse.)
Spelled out, the inscription reads Karolus Francorum Rex et Dalphinus Viennensis, which translates to Charles King of the Franks and Dolphin of Vienne (Vienne being the capital of Dauphine).
Weight: 2.52 g. Diameter: 24.5 mm.

Once part of the Holy Roman Empire, Dauphine became associated with France 1349, but still with a considerable amount of independence, including rights to mint its own money. The title of the ruler was dauphin (dolphin), a title that passed on to the king-to-be and later king of France, Charles V, in 1349. Part of the agreement between Dauphine and France was that the French crown prince should henceforth be called "dauphin", a custom that was maintained until the end of the monarchy 1792.
