In this veil of tears lovely that a fantasy animal has arrived on Brits 50p, tho you'll pay a lot a more!! I recall era when Ireland had fish and horse on the coins pre Euro ,any human inevitably too contraversial, I recall souvenir Nepalese note given to me by the prince i 75 sadly lost and some very colorful kangaroos on the Strine scrip.

The coins are available from the Royal Mint in Lllantrisant Wales in tribute to Gerraint

A very old Welsh joke at Smith Kendon's from the era when the Polo sweet was heavily promoted as the Mint with hole described Lllantrisant as

'THE HOLE WITH THE MINT'
