Note that the items were described as "animal currency" despite the fact that they do not have any any animal feature in their designs.
An elephant described as - Perak/Selangor 'elephant' animal currency.
It looks like there is a stringing hole at the back of the elephant, such a feature on elephants is extremely rare. Except for the above item, I do not know of any other elephant with a stringing hole.
Chinese cash tin coin with branch.
A strange looking item described as - Currency in the form of a goat.
