Hats, Caps, and Helmets Giveaway - Winner Posted!

I was lucky enough to win Dimitri's seven year itch giveaway, and now would like to have a giveaway of my own...

To join in, please post a coin that features someone in a hat, cap, helmet, or other head covering. If you don't have a photo of such a coin, you can find an image on the internet and post it. I know that I've seen quite a few different head covers on coins...I'm interested to see what sort of variety we'll have.

The winner will be chosen randomly from all posters on the evening of Sunday, May 30. The prize, with a helmet on both sides, is the 1947 Panama silver Balboa seen below:

    No need to submit my name for the prize, but here is a head covering depicted which may be a little bit different:

    No need to enter me, I already have a 1947 Balboa, one of the first coins I ever received, I got it from my grandfather while my 2 brothers received Peace $'s. At an early age I was already pegged as a darkside collector! image

    The little guy on here appears to have some sort of cap on him:

    image

    Gallia Belgica (from the Seine to the Rhine), the Remi. Cast Potin (4.13 gm, 12h, 21mm), ca. 100-60 BC. Obv.: Male figure (druid?) with hair in a long plait, running right, holding spear and torc. Rev.: Wolf (?), right, gnawing on prey; above, fibula. BMC 501 ff. DLT 8124. DT 155. Scheers 191. This is a cute coin in my opinion. One aspect of Celtic coins that is quite fascinating is their stylised imagery. This mysterious piece is a popular one because of the man on the obverse of the piece and his resemblance to a Gnome.

    I love the reverse of that, so stunningly stylistic, fills out the design so well, and very uncharacteristic for a German medal.
