Here are some of mine - I do however collect more of tokens and medals with ships. I've only put in the ship side of the coins.

Thor Heyerdahl (1914-2002) gained worldwide fame when he crossed the Pacific Ocean on Kon-Tiki in 1947. He followed this up with spectacular expeditions on the reed boats Ra and Tigris.
This ship coin is a U.K. £2 and is Royal Mint Trial 1994 and I guess does not have a KM number ...
Not an official coin as such - from a 'set' showing in stages how a bimetal coin is made, so the set is the different parts. On the first image below, the lower right is see-through as it only has the outer ring.
Made in the U.K. by the Royal Mint in 1994 as a trial piece, and features a never-used ship design on the reverse. Also does not say £2 on it. Here are closer images of reverse and obverse from the package ...
I got the set years ago - as I wanted to have a complete set of all U.K. £2 coins, and I thought it looked nice. I guess others have since caught on to these as they are well expensive nowadays.
This (and two similar others) tiny 13mm coin was among the 172 coins I got Saturday.
I put PLUS ULTRA in the Search on here, and saw it is a German Spiel Mark i.e. play money.
this piece added by Apuking is a very striking Viking ship:):):) He has been adding wonderful ships on coins recently, and I hope he will share here as well...

Thank you, but I won't post them here as they are all tokens or medals

Here's a couple of nice ones.
You beat me to the Italian silver 500 lire! One of my favourite coins from the Italian Republic (they were a lot more beautiful under the Kingdom of Italy in my opinion). I guess I’ll go with the commemorative 1989 200 lire for the centenary of the Taranto naval yards.

Fiji 10 Dollars Summer Olympics 2004

And Last one I don't recall what it is. Face value 5, says Kibris Cumhuriyeti 1960 on the back side
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

In a very interesting online documentary on excavations in the previously lost harbour of Constantinopel a beautiful coin, found in one of 37 very well conserved sunken ships found there, from as estimated the 6th century is shown at about 23:00: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh813JlFwMQ
Using the ‘prt sc’-key twice I created the image below. It would be nice to know wether this coin is listed on Numista already.
My Bermuda reuleaux triangle 1998 dollar:
Besides coins I love geometry. The avatar consists of each of the 35 hexominoes used precisely once. With the 5 large yellow shapes placed like this, the solution for tiling the remaining 30 hexominoes is unique.
1 ounce, not too shabby at all. That would have cost a bit more than a Tesco meal deal I am sure!
It's only silver unfortunely, it just looks a bit gold because of it being a proof and how the artificial light catches it. It wasn't that much more expensive than the bullion value, which is a lot lately...
