Logos are very common on commercial tokens, but far less common on coins. For this reason, I want to restrict this topic to coins only, because there must be very few commercial tokens that do not carry logos.

I also want to exclude some of the logos that ARE commonly seen on coins, namely those of the United Nations and FAO (The Food and Agricultural Organisation), and the Olympics. Topics on those coins can be found below:

1] United Nations 

2] FAO, World Food and World Fisheries

3] Olympics Logo on Coins

UK 50p 2010 Girl guides-.jpg

UK 50 pence, 2010.  Girl Guides.


I was going to the shops today but stopped off for a coffee and got this in my change.

Next I went to the supermarket.

I had a big chuckle when I got a Scouts 50p in change, about 10 minutes after receiving the Girl Guides coin.

What are the chances of that happening?  :D

Not sure if this qualifies as this is not the logo of Civil Aviation, its more a theme used during celebrations ...
