Final post on Glory and Horse (with a surprise). Both subjects (Glory and Horse/s) will be on the Coins and Medals I espose you to today! Let's start with Ancient Coins. Here's a Celtic gold Trevin Stater: Coin Archives (click image for enlargement): http://www.coinarchives.com/a/lotviewer.php?LotID=116388&AucID=136&Lot=415 And this Bellovaci struck by Galia Belgica (ancient Belgium): http://www.coinarchives.com/a/lotviewer.php?LotID=55859&AucID=59&Lot=68 Here's some Medals incorporating both subjects in a more modern era: From Mexico (Viva Zapata!): http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=564758&AucID=412&Lot=340 Here's a German Medal Struck in Frankfurt in 1745: http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=379460&AucID=281&Lot=709 German Medal struck in 1522. Glory on Obverse/ St George slaying the Dragon astride his "Horse." http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=380366&AucID=282&Lot=1615 Another German Medal struck in 1699: http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=383286&AucID=285&Lot=1508 I saved this Mexican Silver Peso as a surprise to all you "Horse" afficianados. A series of "Caballitos" Pesos were struck at the Mexico City Mint in 1910, '11, '12, '13, an overstrike '13/2 and 1914. Since the 1914 is the rarest of the five year variety, that is my surprise gift to you... Note: This coin is the only coin I know that employees "Glory" to enhance the "Horse." http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=575043&AucID=420&Lot=3466 Was my surprise worth the wait?

Very interesting! I was browsing some of my Mexican medals and found few with Horse and Glory together. This one is a bullion medal copying the "Caballitos" design. And here are two real "Caballitos"... Regards, Ballabh Garg
