Quote: did Jamie Farr model for that profile?  I do wonder how accurate that depiction is. Was his nose even larger and they shrunk it to fit on the coin, or smaller and expanded it for some reason?

Yes, his name is Jose Matías Delgado. An image search shows many portraits with the same elongated snout but others are much smaller.

I've seen videos of roos being aggressive (they're bad asses!) but my money would be on the lion.
