Also in West Frisia (Friesland) the Moneyer Jan Knol used a turnip as his mintmark about early mid 1700's. That might be cheating a little as it isn't part of the main design.
I like turnips...just not often and not in massive doses  ;D

Perhaps the only coin showing a stethoscope? :)

While I still do not like colored coins ;) the idea behind "emphasizing" certain characters here is a nice one. "As a token of gratitude, the names of children inscribed on the coin spell the word "kiitos", "thank you" in Finnish." (Source)

So far I haven't been able to find another coin depicting a stethoscope.  :o

Here is a coin depicting sloths - the only such coin in the world so far?

Only bimetallic coin showing another bimetallic coin on it? (5 Rand 2009, Nelson Mandela)

Quite possibly, but I can go one better: the only bimetallic coin, represented in bimetal, on a coin (albeit a monometallic one):

Are there any other coins where the subject has his/her eyes closed?

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.
