    Oh, man, I like that neo-cob, but I LOVE that Canadian owl and was unfamiliar with the type!

    Middle Ages: how about my so-called "Hippie Coin", which I sold to @dadams and now have a few pangs of seller's remorse for:

    Medieval Croatia (Ragusa): silver grosso portraying St. Blasius and Christ, ca. 1372-1438

    [​IMG]

    Obverse: S BLASIVS RAGVSII, Saint Blasius standing, facing, raising hands in benediction and holding crozier.
    Reverse: IC/XC, Christ standing facing, raising hand inbenediction and holding Gospels.


    Let's have Christ or saints on coins or medals, now.

    That's quite an unusual surface finish on that Niue coin?

    Continuing the "saints or religious figures" theme, I just remembered John the Baptist on this bit of medieval gold (which I might have already posted previously).

    Netherlands (Gelderland): "St. John" type goldgulden (florin) of Arnold van Egmond, ca. 1423-1472

    Let's have some more medieval hammered gold, if anyone has any handy. I know @panzerman does, but we don't have to see just the high end Mint State stuff.

    Stalled, eh? Sorry. "Medieval hammered gold" is a tough theme to follow.

    Don't forget the "24-hour clause" from Post #1, which states,
    So now we've hit the "reset" button and begin again.

    Let's try seabirds, this time?

    Or micronations. Either will do. :)

    Let's do Queen Victoria next, or any coin with multiple lions on it.

    Another, more youthful, version (well and a different denomination, but who cares? AND there are even more lions).

    Wow! Seven lions!

    I'll see your seven lions and raise you seven lions plus a really tiny Saint George slaying the dragon. (A detail which, I am ashamed to admit, I never noticed on this coin until just now, years after I sold it. I guess my eye just saw it all those times before and said, "oh, that's just some random little ornamental flourish".)
