Wow. Very nice. What is the significance of the mountain lion on this coin?

THE ANIMAL IS CALLED A "CATAMOUNT".......IT IS FROM THE NEW ENGLAND PART OF THE U.S.......IT IS ANOTHER WORD FOR COUGAR OR MOUNTAIN LION......IT BASICALLY MEANS CAT OF THE MOUNTAIN.........

YOUR SERVANT..................THE TEMPLAR
THERE IS AT LEAST ONE COLLEGE THAT HAS THE CATAMOUNT AS ITS MASCOT
BENNINGTON WAS A REVOLUTIONARY WAR BATTLE.............

Thanks guys....Smiley

Adam, I think Templar answered your question better than I could.

The coin itself holds a special significance for me in that my grandparents took me to the Bennington battle monument back in the sixties.  Fond memories of them and also the trip....Smiley

Welcome back Snooba  Smiley

Thank you so much!!!   Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

At the moment I am in the middle of "tax time madness" at work, so I only manage to catch up on the forum after I've finished working, feeding my son, helping with his homework, washing the dishes and clothes, preparing tomorrow's lunch, doing my budget, cleaning the house, and then putting my son and myself off to bed.  So (unfortunately) I am a bit sporadic at the moment!

Soon I can go back to being part-time.  Woo-hoo!!!

Snooba.    Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
