- Cowry, also sometimes spelled cowrie, plural cowries, is the common name for a group of small to large marine gastropods in the family Cypraeidae. The word cowry is also often used to refer to the shells of these snails. Many people find the very rounded, shiny, porcelain-like shells of cowries pleasing to look at and to handle. Shells of certain species have historically been used as currency in several parts of the world, as well as being used, in the past and present, very extensively in jewellery, and for other decorative and ceremonial purposes. Some species in the family Ovulidae are also often referred to as cowries. In the British Isles the local Trivia species are sometimes called cowries. The Ovulidae and the Triviidae are somewhat closely related to the Cypraeidae.
- Cypraea ist eine Gattung aus der Familie der Kaurischnecken (Cypraeidae) und umfasst lediglich zwei Arten, zum einen die sehr bekannte Cypraea tigris und zum anderen die seltenere Cypraea pantherina. Das Verbreitungsgebiet der Art C. tigris erstreckt sich von der Ostküste Afrikas über den gesamten Indischen Ozean bis zur Südsee, die Art C. pantherina ist ausschließlich im Roten Meer beheimatet.
- La famille des Cypraeidae est une des plus vaste famille de coquillages, une des plus célèbres aussi puisque c’est celle des fameuses « porcelaines ». Leur aspect lisse et brillant, leurs couleurs éclatantes sont à l’origine de cette popularité. Il en existe plus de 200 espèces distinctes, et plusieurs milliers de sous-espèces ou variétés ont été décrites.
- タカラガイ（宝貝、英: cowry, cowrie）はタカラガイ科の巻貝の総称。特にそれらの貝殻を指すこともある。 タカラガイの貝殻は丸みを帯びて光沢があり、陶磁器のような質感である。土地によっては貝殻を通貨として利用したり、装身具や儀式的な用途に用いたりする。
- Каури — род морских брюхоногих моллюсков семейства Cypraeidae, последний оборот раковины которых раскрывает все предыдущие. Раковины каури гладкие и тяжёлые. Спиральная форма слабо выражена или отсутствует. Имеется одна большая полость с узким щелевидным устьем. Эти раковины использовались на островах Океании в качестве валюты.
- Cypraea, yumuşakçalar (Mollusca) şubesinin karından bacaklılar (Gastropoda) sınıfındaki Cypraeidae familyasında yer alan bir deniz salyangozu cinsidir. Cypraea türlerinin yumurtaya benzeyen, göz alıcı desenlere sahip olabilen, pürüzsüz ve parlak yüzeyli kabukları, çağlar boyunca koleksiyon malzemesi, mücevher, takı, tılsım ve para olarak kullanılagelmiş, kadınlık, doğurganlık ve zenginlik sembolü olarak görülmüştür.
