To me a magic eye coin is any coin that when you look at it you can see something else besides the intended image on the coin. I don't know if anyone else here has any but here are two of mine: Late-5th Cen. AD N. India - Kidarites Vinayaditya - EL (Electrum) Stater ANACS AU 50:    On the obverse of this coin I see a man standing wearing a pea coat in profile with his arm up in the air and whistling. 1014-1041 (Gold) Dinar Gahadavalas - Tripuri (Kanauj) Gangeyadeva, mitch-NI410 ANACS EF 45    On the obverse of this coin I see the head/face of Frosty the Snow Man looking at me wearing a floppy hat. Anyway, just something that I thought might be an interesting thread. If you have any Magic Eye Coins please post them and please let us know what you see! Edited by casualcoincollector

I thought that the second coin was the Scarecrow in "The Wizard of Oz".  https://www.brianrxm.comThe Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin Coins in Movies Coins on Television

Interesting topic. I am not sure about the first coin, but I do see the hatted snowman head in the second.

Here's a "barbarous" late Roman-style coin, modeled after Theodosius II  The preposterously long neck, tiny head, huge lips, and apparent dreadlocks are really unusual, even for coins of the barbarians. After watching Trolls with my daughters, I just can't unsee it:  |

@ oih82w8,
It's supposed to be a Fertility Goddess. With Frostys' mouth being the stomach and the brim of the hat being the arms.

These aren't mine but they are some interesting ones. They are from the Illusion series of coins put out by Congo in 2001. Fantastic!  |
