As evident in the Coins with Birds (↗) post and the relevant webpages on Daniel's Coin Zoo, it is easy to compile a low-cost coin collection regarding a particular animal. While mammals appear on about half of animal-featuring coins according to Daniel's Coin Zoo, coins with aquatic life are comparatively small in number but are certainly worthwhile to find. The Daniel's Coin Zoo (↗) website comprehensively lists hundreds of coins with fish and other aquatic organisms. This post highlights several coins in my collection:
• THE BAHAMAS 1 Cent (1998) coin features a red cushion starfish (West Indian sea star).
• The EAST TIMOR (Timor-Leste) 1 Centavo (2004) coin features a nautilus.
• The GUERNSEY 1 Penny (1998) coin features a spider crab.
• The ICELAND 1 Króna (1999) coin features an Atlantic cod.
• The LAOS 50 Att (1980) coin features a carp fish. Details about this coin are found on its own Money & Geography post (↗).
• The NAMIBIA 5 Cents (2000) coin features a horse mackerel. Details about this coin are found on its own Money & Geography post (↗).
• The SEYCHELLES 1 Cent (1997) coin features a mud crab.
• The ST. HELENA AND ASCENSION 1 Penny (1997) features a yellowfin tuna.
• The SIERRA LEONE 10 Leones (1996) coin features bonga shad fish.
• The SLOVENIA 1 Tolar (1995) coin features brown trout. Details about this coin are found on its own Money & Geography post (↗).

How to purchase?
Hi there, I found these coins in a set of 100 world coins online. This was when Shop at Home was in business (this company had a TV channel and online store). Since these coins are fairly common, these sets or the individual coins should be still available through various online and physical coin stores. Try to see if your local area has a coin shop that sells various coins from around the world, and you might be able to find a variety of coins with an aquatic theme!
