My favorites can't be other than an international series I have complete; the Ibero-American Series II - Endangered wildlife, all from the same commemorative series, shared with up to 13 other countries, depending on the series. Don't know if there was/is another program as international as this one (2 Euro coins come to mind, but the EU being as wide as Mexico itself...):
Another series I own (almost, missing two, Eagle and Bear) from the Endangered Mexican Species:
Some other Mexican coins I own that depict animals, and I like a lot. The last one has more than 5 different animals in it, need a bit of concentration to find them all thou:

Coinage in the Irish republic always has been an animal farm. I've noticed the Pingin above on this thread, but let's add the 3d (leat reul) and 6d (reul)
and this 1990 Punt may not be a valuable coin, but it's the design I prefer:

Hi all,
You can go and have a look there https://fr.numista.com/forum/topic28955.html
We're having fun listing species.
The point there is not to put twice the same species. It needs a bit of research into zoology and languages (wiki works fine for that. Spot a species in your own language and change wiki's language, then you get the translation ). Interesting though.
Sure Erdvilla's Mexican fauna is not there !
Cheers,
André

Belgian Congo coins are great, but my favourite one is:
I'm not orange and also in other things I'm not a Donald at all. DonChori like Don Felipe or Doña María, por favor.

Here's an image dump of most of the Canadian tokens in my collection that have animals on them. It seems like "wildlife" was a very, very popular theme for these.
You never said anything about extinct animals either

I thought about making a new Animal themed thread to post updates in, but found this one, so just adding some new additions to my collection this week. Mostly more modern NCLT from Canada and a silver round .

She’s also in equestrian mode on the 50p 70th anniversary on the throne. That one didn’t make it to circulation though

Found these in Devon a few years ago whilst my son was studying at Exeter University…
