One of a kind

Depending on your definition and sensitivity to the aroma of deceased fish, the Magdalen Island penny 1815 would be pretty close. Also, that is the only coin issued by a man called Coffin. Very apt for the fish in question.

UK, 2 pounds, 2016.  The Great Fire of London.

Is this the only coin to depict or commemorate a fire?

[chrisild]

Depends on your definition of fire. Guess that all those Olympic fires on coins should not count ...

Depiction of such "wild flames" above a city will be rare, maybe even unique. Historically, coins commemorating major city fires would usually emphasize the reconstruction efforts. This German 3 RM coin for example shows the city of Magdeburg after the destruction in the Thirty Years War. Even the text refers to the "renaissance" afterwards.

Also, here are two medals about "important" fires. The first one is from Glarus (CH) and commemorates the 1861 fire. It shows the destroyed town but is primarily about the reconstruction. Similarly, after the devastating fire in Hamburg (DE) in 1842, several medals were issued, but typically with the same "we made it" message. This one for example shows the inner city, and on the other side, Phoenix above a fire.

There's no smoke without fire, as we say in England. I was really looking for flames rather than the aftermath, but I didn't make that specific enough. You are however cheating by including medals. 

Coins with flames from fires, anybody?

The only coin to feature a sewing machine?

Les français ... naturellement.   The origin of the word "mushroom" is the French "mousseron" which refers to a certain type of fungus. At some point the connection "got lost", i.e. the English did not understand it any more, but the word stuck.

When you posted the image of that Latvian coin, I was surprised first - after all, mushrooms can be found on many medals (token of luck) and postal stamps. Surely there must be more coins with mushrooms? Hmm, maybe not ...

Christian

As I understand it the "mousseron" refers to the Fairy Ring Champignon, Marasmius oreades.

I pick them regularly.
