PREHISTORIC ART IN NUMISMATICS

Last week Bill Hyder suggested extending our list of cave painting art in numismatics to the larger field of prehistoric art. Here are some examples.

George Cuhaj writes:

Here is a 2010 commemorative from Palau, featuring Easter Island. It is part of a much larger set of coins which feature Wonders of the World.

Look close - the reverse design includes a treasure chest and bare-breasted mermaid. George also sent the following images of A Cook Island Easter Island coin and Ron Dutton's Stonehenge medal. Thanks also! -Editor
