great to see some Spanish lions, Dorado

Here some more "Spanish" lions present on coins that were vandalized in The Netherlands into "broekstukken" (fashionable ornaments for the belt of the 19th century Sunday costume). more details in http://goccf.com/t/304129, the bottom line being these pieces are likely to be counterfeits made in Holland for the international trade with China.
