Can you name some ohe pictures used on different countries' Euro coins?


For example I know that Germany uses an eagle, do you know of any other countries' pictures?

Thanks.

Look also on german wikipedia. You can easily click on the different countries and the pictures are bigger.

What does 'ohe' stand for? I know the 1 euro coin in cyprus has like a cross on the back of it.

MALTA adopted the euro as it's offical currency 1/1/08; The One & Two euro coin has the maltese cross on one side and the coat of arms on the other. Smaller coins got Mnajdra Temples = A complex of three Neolithic temples surrounding an oval courtyard, the oldest having been built during the 臓gantija phase (3600-3200 BC)

On the 1-Euro coin Finland has 2 flying swans while Greece has the Athen Owl. Malta has the Maltese cross and Ireland the harp. On the Slovenian 20-cent coin is a pair of Lippizaner horses.

The portuguese coins use the first symbols of our first Kings, in the middlle ages.
For me, the most beautiful are the italians: The famous Leonardo da Vinci man (with 4 arms) is in the 1 euro, while a Famous writer (i can't remember the name!!!! :-( is in the 2 euro! German and french are also nice.
Spanish coins are the most ugly: the face of the king is very bad.
PS - Greece has a 2 cent coin with an oil tanker... lol lol
