Found this while surfing Ebay. It's an Islamic coin, about 1400 years old, with a nice lion. "Would make a nice addition to the specialized lion collection"
And the prices of the Rum coins he is selling seem very reasonable. If you like the Lion & Sun motif, as I do, you should check out 19th and 20th century Persian (Iranian). Also, the old civic coppers of Persia and Afghanistan can be stunning, especially the larger presentation pieces.
