World Coins Featuring Animals - Coin Zoo Page
There have been many coins through the ages which have animals as a major part of their design. This is our attempt to index some of them. A complete listing would take many months of labour to compile, so this list will start small, and grow as we find more links to add. In most cases, we will try to ensure that we have a linked page for each entry on this page.
