So a little late for this question-NumisRob posted a 1780 I duit from Holland on page 182 and I was wondering why the lion on the coin is in a corral. I feel like that has some symbolic meaning. Anyone know?

rampant lion, left, hat of freedom on a spear, in a 'dutch garden' (origin early 15th century)
The ducht garden was a closed area around a tree. In that area justice was spoken. That area could only be entered by invitation.
Let me know if someone wants a more detailed explanation.

Petrus - thanks for the info about my Dutch coin!

For 1742, just for a change, I'm not posting a George II coin - it's a French silver Ecu from the Pau Mint.

France double sol 1741D - these poorly produced billon coins were very unpopular, very low relief and the silver wash wore very quickly

Thank you Petrus and NumisRob for your kind comments. Some of these are difficult to photograph but I'm learning how to adjust the lighting to get better images.
