In an attempt to answer Templars question, about how many counties have Lions on their coins. I have started this thread. So post any coins with Lions and I will keep a list of names.
Ellekitty, where are you?
Albania Algeria Armenia Ascension Island Australia Austria Belgium Bermuda Bohemia and Moravia British West Indies Bulgaria Canada Congo Cyprus Czechoslovakia Czech Republic Denmark East Africa Estonia Ethiopia Fiji Finland Georgia Ghana Great Britain Guatemala Guernsey Hong Kong India Iran Israel Italy Kenya Latvia Lebanon Luxembourg Mali Morocco Myanmar Netherland Indies Netherlands Norway Paraguay Phillipines Rhodesia-Nyasaland Rwanda-Burundi Sierre Leone Singapore Spain Sweden Switzerland Syria Tanzania Tibet
It's OK guys. I am not emotionally attached to it. As I have said before I am not a big banknote collector and I feel it would be more appreciated in your hands. I will send it over as part of the trade for the stamps. Joe you can have it then. John, if you like, you can check out my collection and pick something else. http://www.coincommunity.org/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=415 There are some that I would like to keep, but pick one and we'll see. (Definitely not the First Aussie $10, they are for the kids)
Maybe Lions roamed Europe too, before being wiped out and left only in Africa. Also don't forget that humans started in Africa and then spread to the rest of the world. As for how many countries have Lions on their crest or flags, I wouldn't have a clue.
Singapore 1967, 50 Cents
The symbol of Singapore is the Merlion, half Lion and half Mermaid. My useless piece of information for the day.
Nice note Steve! I don't even have that one in my collection! LOL
It was one of the first I ever added to my collection. It's not in very good condition, many folds and holes, but I believe it might be a bit rare. If you can't find a better one and you would like one, let me know and it's yours.
Just another way to see some of your coins. I will post a pic of a coin and you must post one with either the same date, same metal, or the same country, or same denomination or a similar design, or anything else that relates the two coins. Then the next person to post, must follow that new pic.
Ok here we go..
So to follow you need to post a pic of another bi-metallic coin, or one from Algeria, or any 2007 coin, or one with a cat on, or same denomination (i.e. 20, doesn't have to be Dinars).
