Nice bottlecap! I had one but sold it. Eventually I'll get another. The type you bought would be nice

As for panthers or pantherish animals, I have this tigress on a Gallienus antoninianus. As his issues go, this one is quite nice. It was picked from box of "lesser" coins at a dealer's booth at the summer 2014 ANA show.

That's a fantastic panther-addition, Oki ... man, I always love it when you buy "outside of the ol' Hadrian Box" ...

=> Panthers and/or bottle-caps ... is that where we're goin'?

Well, here is a crappy version of TIF's cool coin ...





... those lions looked a bit like panthers, so I tried slippin' them in there ...

 

@stevex6 I would be all over you Gallenius and "bottle cap."

Wow! The details on that denarius is amazing. What a gorgeous coin!!

 

Alas, no coins with panthers...or bottlecap rims.
