<p>[QUOTE=&quot;regandon, post: 754210, member: 17232&quot;]The Wild Man was legendary and a fearsome figure in German folklore. He was colossal, without clothing and was quite hairy. He was often shown with leafage for a loincloth and holding a tree. It is said that the legend of the Wild Man started in Germany by miners recruited from the Ore Mountains, to work at the mines in the Harz Mountains around the year 1529. After the Wild Man legend began to grow, the Wild Man became the symbol for the Harz Mountains. On the numismatic side. The legend had grown so big that the dukes of Brunswick started minting coins with a Wild Man on it. The WildMan Taler was minted for quite a few centuries.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
