Latvia, 1 lats, 2004. Silver collector coin.
Two serfs making timber against a background of a board with letters carved in wood, with a pair of dividers on each side of the board.
You can depend on Latvia to produce some unusual deisgns.

Madagascar, 20 ariary, 1998. UNICEF. Boy with lemur.
I long for a decent Madagascan circulation design series, that highlights some of the country's unique species.

Malawi, 1 tambala, 1995. Two tilapia fish.
The scales on these fish are beautifully done. This is a product of the Royal Canadian Mint, but unfortunately RCM refuses to reveal the artists of overseas designs.
