Yea, forgot about the panther, and of course there are many lions. But, cats had been domesticated for so long, why not include them on coins?
Perhaps a friendly, snuggly house-pet isn't exactly the ideal image to send-out to the people and/or the enemy, right? (just an assumption)
On modern coins there are plenty of cats. Now I am not into ancients, but if we extend the term to include all felidae, there should be quite a few. Christian
