<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ColonialCoinsUK, post: 8376483, member: 114866&quot;]I finally managed to get an example of this Guatemalan 1 peso banknote.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reference books describe this as &#039;woman on winged chariot drawn by lions&#039;, not something you see everyday and who doesn&#039;t like a couple of fluffy cats!</p><p><br /></p><p>So what is the Ancients link? I am assuming this is a reference to Cybele, as mother, commemorating the start of the new Guatemalan republic.?</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post anything relevant as I expect she has numerous names - is it always two lions? are the wings on the chariot poetic licence??</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1486491[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
