Quote from: 'Shire.of.Douglas' pid='39545' dateline='1389533920'How far do you take this? Grain as a theme, or grain as an element?

Many Coat of Arms designs feature grain as an element - 2001 Queensland Federation 50c and New Zealand Half Crowns for example...

Welcome. It's all a bit of fun. If it's your collection then you can do what you like! Personally I think if there's a grain on the coin then it can go in this thread!!!! Pic away!

Can I play?

That looks like something grainy to the right of the llama.

According to Krause the two birds perched on an oat sprig. Oats are grainish.

That is definitely a bushel (?) of grain at the bottom left of the coat of arms.

The Bolivia coin has the coat of arms shown, which consist of an Alpaca standing next to some wheat.
Oat sprig seems to be a common term used for foliage on lots of coins, but in this case
looks nothing like oats. I might have to disallow that one

. Nice pics by the way.
