Pahlavi Iran 1349 not my calendar and I have to believe what the vendor said  It is not clear why the lion needs a sword ( perhaps somebody know ? ) I figure it is MS61 ( friction in the fields and a big bagmark allthough the cartwheels lustre is still there ) |

MY UNCLE TRACED MY FATHER'S FAMILY BACK TO ENGLAND IN THE 1500'S AND FOUND A COAT OF ARMS OF OUR FAMILY AND IT BEARS 3 LIONS RAMPANT (STANDING) SO THE LIONS ARE USED IN ENGLAND THAT FAR BACK---AND THIS IS AFTER THE CRUSADES SO THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A CHANCE TO SEE THESE ANIMALS WHEN CRUSADING...IF I CAN FIND THE COLOR COPY OF THESE ARMS I WILL POST THEM....BUT FOR NOW THE SCANNER WILL HAVE TO DO
THANK YOU .........THE TEMPLAR

lol. I'm here, but you guys are doing really well all on your own! Countries like Somaliland and Slovenia that do the Zodiac coins will have lions on theirs. Here are a few more that I found, and wanted to share. British West Indies:  Guatemala:  Rhodesia and Nyasaland:  Paraguay (Mentioned, but I didn't see picture?):  Mali:  Fiji (Horrid picture of a worn coin, but the Heraldric 'leopard' is there.)  Bermuda:  Congo:  |

It is not clear why the lion needs a sword ( perhaps somebody know ? )
...
The lion-and-sun symbol is a Turko-persian symbol, astrological in origin, and swordless lion-and-suns can be found on coins dating back to the Crusader period. The sword was added to the Persian national symbol sometime in the early 1800s. Originally it was the Zu’l-faqar, the Sword of Ali (founder of the Shiite sect); the lion holding it symbolising the power of the Shiite religion and the Sun represented the King. As the monarchy became secularized and europeanized, the sword was kept but the official meaning of the sword changed, emphasising the power of Persia's military forces. |
