I guess if you want a funny, comedy coin and a ha ha to Arizona wildlife as you have stated; then a jackalope might work. A serious and more interesting tribute might be to use one or two of Arizona's very famous and unique species?
We really like the saguaro(it shouts Arizona), the conifer, and the flag. Also like the side with the jeep but wonder if the actual word "jeep" should be used below. Kinda looks like a cheap advertisement. We agree with some of the other comments--kokopelli is not p.c. although he is a symbol of the southwest.
Why not go first class and have the geocoin trackable and with a cusomized icon for the stats. list. I think most would welcome those options for a little bit more.
