Judging by the size of the fish, that is not a very impressive berg.

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

Could be the only "fully visible" iceberg on a coin, yes. But various Titanic 2012 issues (Canada, Fiji and the ever so prolific Cook Islands) have iceberg parts ...

That one is kind of iffy.

In 2009 Lithuania issued a 1 Litas coin that shows a Designation of Vilnius

It depicts an artist and his canvas/easel or is the easel a crenulated Castle?  ;D

It looks very weird, and I'm not sure what the symbolism is supposed to mean. I think my coin's "one-of-a-kind-ness" should stand, unless someone can find another realistic easel, as opposed to a symbolic halfway house.

It is a painter's easel.  However it is stylized heavy enough that you have to know it is. Not going to totally recognize it otherwise.

I don't know of any other painter coins that even show that much.  So maybe this one stands....for now...  ;)

Anyway, are there any other issues that show an igloo?

Canada also has a $10 igloo coin....it is a different design from that one but it does have an igloo.
