[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 2548239, member: 39"]That "last gulden" was designed by Tim Melis, a 12 year old boy at that time. It is a lion of course. With a cabbage head maybe, but still the Dutch lion. :) Now the creator of the "last franc" is pretty famous: It was designed by Philippe Starck. That coin I find cool; another Starck coin design, from 2008, is ho-hum at best.
