Does anyone have a wart-nosed lion from Lydia?

I came back to this thread to see if anyone had posted a wart-nose lion from Lydia circa 700 BC. If someone has one it would be very cool to see a photograph. Here is a rather colorful lion.

 

Psyadelic on the last Lion. I love the old one from Thrace been trying to get a nice on for awhile. Here are some lions.
Traci


Bactrian 3rd century BC

 

I don't think I saw anything from Guatemala. Here's an 1893 1/4 Real. I've others but this is the best photo on this tiny coin.

 

Then there's the MEXICO Spanish Colonial Ferdinand VII 1809-Mo TH 8 Reales. I look to the lions to judge counterfeits - the lions can look really strange sometimes.

What an interesting way to look at coins - lions.

 

Then there's the Dutch, The east Indies, Lions that swim, and lions that don't.

 

Hello Mi chael,
I zoomed in on your lions. (I assume that yours is a genuine coin which I am studying here). I now know to look for strange looking lions on counterfeits.
Thanks,
