    I posted the Dragon version of this previously. I really like this design, and being a descendant of these old Scottish warriors thought it was a worthwhile share.

    (Raven)
    In 1588 the Clans MacIan and McDonald of Scotland were ravaged and sacked village by village by the Clan MacLean with 100 mercenaries from the ship San Juan De Sicilia of the Spanish Armada to fight with them. When the MacIan and MacDonald reinforcements arrived, MacLeans and the Spaniards withdrew their burning and sacking. The Spaniards returned to their ship. Later, the bay was rocked with a huge explosion and the Gold filled galleon sank to the bottom of the sea. Could the Clans MacIan (Mac-ian) or MacDonald have organized this deed in seeking revenge for the sackings? The story is the stuff of legends and the mystery remains to this day.

    Here's the Dragon coin, same obverse with the Knight:

    The Dragon symbolizes our daily eternal and internal struggles. The Dragon is weathered, smart, poised and he smells your fear. The Dragon reminds us to remain steadfast, unyielding and to never surrender."Vincit Que Se Vincit" meaning "He Conquers Who Conquers Himself."

    Hopefully my pictures are getting better. Still doesn't show nearly the detail of the coin in hand.

    Shoot, no one likes this? Maybe I should post some parking lot coins and get 30 replies?!

    Where's Z with the Pandora's Box cartoon?! That seems appropriate for my misguided comment!
