    Nick, I guess they had to show the man WINNING against the lion, so therefore they had to make the depicted lion weak and small.image I presume it wouldn't make for great subject matter to show a lion devouring the hero....

  • Yes, I know that story Mike image It was just my poor attempt to joke image, especcially taking into account the fact, that usually F.A.O. coins shows big and PROUD ANIMALS and not MEN (for example I have had a few with a very big, happy and proud fish!image )

    BTW, sorry for hijacking your thread, Theboz imageimage

    Edited to add: from the other hand , may be they, yes, wanted to underline that this guy (Samson? Hercules?) able to beat any lion for only Food_Agriculture purpose, so it suits to the topic of FAO coins... like some Fishery FAO coins...
