The diameter of this official restrike is 40mm (the origonals are 37mm) but that doesn't detract from this at all. The mirror finishes make it tricky to photograph, but in reality this thing just leaps out at you.

dollarcoins Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 03/10/2010 3:13 pm It is a beautiful coin. Where did you purchase this one? Perhaps I could buy this coin for my one coin for one country project. Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2882 Posts	Posted 03/11/2010 03:41 am Hi - It was on ebay. As I said earlier, they are restrikes, but they are official restrikes so still a proper coin with the KM number etc. They are a nice hunk of silver.

dollarcoins Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 03/11/2010 10:41 am Thanks. I searched the words "yemon lion" and found out many listings from a seller in India. I don't feel comfortable on this. Report this Post to the Staff
