The Father Flanagan Omaha Boys Town gets a clad half-dollar, a silver dollar, and a five-dollar gold piece and the Lions Club International gets a silver dollar.

The reverse design of the Lions Club coin looks interesting:

Any thoughts on these coins?

There is a good chance that I will pass on both of these commemorative series.

That male lion seems to have accented hair.... Cheers, RickO

I think they need to think about what these look like when actually engraved. It is easy to make a drawing look good with shading, etc., but when they are actually engraved a lot of that detail is lost. That said, it looks like an interesting design and I would get one.

The linked US Mint reverse includes a cub, and different inscriptions.

Overall look is great. Just hope there is more detail.

Replaced reverse image with final mint image which includes lion cub.
