<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pavlos, post: 5132287, member: 96635&quot;]Not an informative thread but me just sharing some lion scalps on coins that I really enjoy. Mostly Samos island is known for it&#039;s lion&#039;s scalp, but also many cities in Magna Graecia have the same design. Please share your coins with a lion&#039;s scalp.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/8zUMMbI.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>Ionia, Samos.
