chirrrs Valued Member United States 164 Posts	Posted 12/21/2025 2:19 pm I'm having trouble identifying this uniface coin, but it reminds me of some Bohemian lions I've seen before. Anyone have some insight on this? You can see the lion inside what looks to be a shield circumscribed inside a faint diamond. Report this Post to the Staff
