Good idea @spruette! I've always admired the facial hair and wild eyes of St. Paul, such as on the reverse of this 13th Century Pfennig from the German Bishopric of Münster:

I've always thought that this mythical individual's facial hair was cool.
Bergrisi the Giant. One of the four protective spirits in Icelandic mythology represented on this coin:

That one looks familiar, Dorado.

That's quite the 'stache, Arkie.

I've considered Gerhard Mercator and Lajos Kossuth, but couldn't find the coins on short notice.

This coin, meanwhile, came with pre-uploaded photos...
...of the slab, anyway.

Okay folks, it's time to wrap this round up with a vote! Simply post who you think presented the coin with the best facial hair.

Executive Decision: since Dorado posted three coins, only his first (1996 Australian dollar) counts for voting.

The candidates:

Dorado
Spence
Keith12
chafemasterj
bd251
Arkie
january1may


Hopefully, one day is enough to get all votes in.
