<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Moonshadow, post: 1040490, member: 17529&quot;]I could not help but notice the similarity between Kempson&#039;s Lion, and the Lion of Lucerne carved in 1820. The Latin text on the token translates &quot;No one harms me with impunity&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Lion Monument, or the Lion of Lucerne, is a sculpture in Lucerne, Switzerland, designed by Bertel Thorvaldsen. It commemorates the Swiss Guards who were massacred in 1792 during the French Revolution, when revolutionaries stormed the Tuileries Palace in Paris, France. The American writer Mark Twain praised the scul...pture of a mortally-wounded lion as &quot;the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world.&quot;- Wikipedia.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i578.photobucket.com/albums/ss227/Moonshadow-/Conder%20Tokens/KempsonLionLucerneLionflatHR.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
