This is only really when Norway is excluded, as it is on the coins. The
only euro coin I have handy has king john charles on the flipside- I
have a 50 cent coin which has the euro countries on it- minus Norway of
course.

Hexagone is very common. The shape of the country easily looks like

an
hexagone. I don't know if another country's general shape is as
geometric.


I don't know that either, but Italy is often referred to as "the

Boot"
because of its shape.


Shape of Spain is reportedly that of a bull's skin, so that many
columnists use the expression 'la piel de toro'.

More or less like a dead elephant. I suppose.


I'm beginning to feel really inadequate!

Good point !
And what about Austria ? Is it a saucepan or a piece of parma ham ?
Doesn't Australia look like a big white pea (? haricot blanc in fr) or
a kidney ?

Mont athos area always reminds me some cow udders (? pis de vache in
fr). So at reverse it looks a bit like an hippocamp with udders...
