Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 12/16/2018 7:16 pm I think this coin is so interesting. Unfortunately it has a big break in the obverse between the locks of his hair. Its a very hefty coin as well. Roughly 40mm and 29g. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not very familiar with non-USA coins, but that coat of arms seems unusual for a European coin. It looks like a primal mask with a crown. Report this Post to the Staff

This is the crowned bull that shows up on the coat of arms of the German state of Mecklenburg. I'm not sure of the origins, and why he is shown with his tongue sticking out. It does stand out in the medieval heraldry of northern Europe, which was far more partial toward lions, eagles and griffins for their animal spirits. The reverse imagery is also interesting. That's Saint Lawrence, and he's not holding a lantern. It's a representation of a gridiron ... Christian tradition says he was roasted to death.
