Not mine, but I'm really considering one:

Used to collect lion medals. Here is one I purchased, back in 2007.

Stork · April 18, 2017 3:52PM

Albanian lions (the ones that got me started on Albania BTW)--

@TwoKopeiki -- that is a great Britannia design but I'm surprised anyone notices the lion. Even my husband, the non-coin guy, likes that one. The 'Pippa-tush' Britannia .

Cool Thread, not because I'm a Leo either

Taking a ride on one. I'd say that doesn't look like fun, but then I'd be "lion." HA!

Thanks. The coin is a 1903 5 Mark piece from the German Empire. NGC MS64. As a side projected I'm slowly collecting the whole coalition.

brg5658 · May 2, 2017 6:55PM

Here are a couple Conders:

A lesser seen Congo NCLT:

An Albania 1/4 Leku (surprised this hasn't been posted already):

The Czech Lion Rampant:

A Bulgarian coin with the Madara Rider, and lion at his feet:

Those German States are nice coins!

lordmarcovan · May 11, 2017 5:35AM

Lions? Yep. Can do.

Some of 'em you've gotta look for.

Some of 'em you've REALLY gotta look for.

Some of 'em are blatantly obvious.

Some of 'em @asheland might like, and will spur @aethelred's memories of 1994.

OGDan · May 11, 2017 6:00AM

Here's my liondollar.

I'd give my left nut to find a legitimate chop marked example of this coin. Apparently there was one sold in the Bosco sale of the Hal Walls collection back in 1997. I had just started college so there's no way I could have participated, but I sure wish I had been a serious collector at that time. Many great coins directly in my area of interest were sold.

asheland · May 11, 2017 9:10AM

Lord M, those are sweet! I do like that off center shilling!

That's awesome!

Stork · May 11, 2017 9:46AM

Can't believe I forgot about this fellow. One of my earliest forays into medals and certainly part of the genesis of my Art Deco appreciation!

Jackthecat1 · May 11, 2017 12:12PM

It's a mountain lion. The only feline on a US coin until this year's Lion's Club Dollar.

Can't post an image so I give up. This new forum software sucks.
