Vatican City 10-LIRE (KM127)

Dove

That's Noah in his ark, looking totally shocked that the dove has returned with an olive branch in its beak. In this depiction of the story, Noah's boat is clearly a TARDIS-type design.

This interesting coin was minted in 1975 only, and features a "pillow" design in the fields.
