<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1487839, member: 39&quot;]Side note - this is the personal CoA that Pope Pius used; each pope has a different one. And as for the stylized bird on the Icelandic coin, well, that is the stylized version of one of the four <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landvættir#The_four_landv.C3.A6ttir_of_Iceland" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landvættir#The_four_landv.C3.A6ttir_of_Iceland" rel="nofollow">guardian spirits</a> of the country, an eagle or a griffin. In the case of the coins issued in 1981, you see all four if you look at all four lower denominations. Then, on the 5 kr coin, you see them combined as on some other Icelandic pieces ...</p><p><br /></p><p>(Oh, and the &quot;Like&quot; does not apply to a specific coin here, rather to the whole compilation. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> )</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
