Lets have a lion thread!
I'll start with my new arrival from today:

Not mine, but I'm really considering one:

Zohar

carabonnair

jgenn

carabonnair

harasha

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

Stork

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 .

OldEastside

Cool Thread, not because I'm a Leo either

On my wish list...

CIVITAS

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.

A lesser seen Congo NCLT:

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

The Czech Lion Rampant:

Those German States are nice coins!

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.

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

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

That's awesome!

Stork

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

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.
