Not sure what you folks-down-under call a Panther?

Here in the upper half of the world ... the Panther is a mountain lion ... do you have them down there as well?

The USA 1925 Vermont Sesquicentennial half dollar has a Panther featured on the reverse ... technically it is a Catamount (a Canadian Lynx) ... but a cousin of the Panther ...

Panthers-On-Coins?

Does that do it for you?

Awesome coin - I love that design. Just to clarify the whole catamount thing, although both Canadian lynx (Lynx canadendsis) and the cat on the back of that coin above are both called "catamounts" they are not related. The Vermont catamount, Felis concolor, is a mountain lion (also referred to as a cougar, panther, puma). This is not related to short-tailed cats in the genus Lynx.

Panther (in Africa and Asia), the leopard (Panthera pardus)

Here is a coin from my collection of Roman Emperor Gallienus (253-268 AD) with a panther reverse. It is part of a "zoo series" that was minted under his reign:
