<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 2258994, member: 24274&quot;]Winged lions also seemed a popular choice among bank note engravers, sharing the regal nature of the griffin, though not the beak. St. Mark used the winged lion as his emblem, so financiers may have chosen to add it to their certificates to invoke a biblical reference (&quot;God favors those who invest here&quot;).</p><p><br /></p><p>Western Bank Note and Homer Lee Bank Note both engraved winged lions as ornaments. Security Bank Note engraved a similar creature, though it appears to also have scales or feathers.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]448334[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448335[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448336[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
