Exactly, a job for Kitty  ;D ...that Lion looks familiar, but I can't place it yet.

Wow, you guys are expecting a lot out of me!

It does look familiar, but so far I haven't been able to place it either. 
Do add this coin to my collection?

Kitty, lol...well, if anyone could get this right, I'd bet on you!
I'll flip pages through Krause this evening...I only have wild guesses at this moment.

I don't have a catalogue, but I've had a good look in Don's Coin World and haven't found it yet.

I've been trying that one as well!!!!!

...OK, time for more clues  ;D:

Ask yourself:
- Which countries have a lion in their arms?
- Which country i am from?

Note also that my second post in this thread actually has two clues.

...and the coin is definitely on Don's website.

Good luck,
Jose

Portugal was the first country I checked, LOL...now I see it in Krause, but just barely.  ;D
Congrats Nancy!

yeah, the picture in Krause is pretty washed out. :(  Hard to see, and certainly not a major design element!

Congratulations on a mind-boggling contest, josemartins. :D

Here it is  ;D :



The two coin set (500 and 1000 Reis) isn't very popular but i like it.

Congrats Nancy! Thanks for participating, just PM me the address you want me to send the 2.5 Euro coin.

I also checked Portugal, but did not find it on Don's website.
I took the XX in Josemartins first clue as an indication that
it might be Portugal, as this is how they show 20 on there coins.

Jose,  My prize arrived today. ;D  Thank you very much.  8)
My total count of coins from Portugal just quadrupled.  I had one, now I have 4.   :)

I received the 2008 Beijing 2.5 â,¬ plus a 1917 4 centavos, and a 1981 25 Escudos.  ;D

Don't stop at four, Nancy.
Portugal coins are among my favourites, especially the 50 centavos.



Don't now what it is about them, but I just love them.

Glad you like them Nancy  :), altough your portuguese coin collection only tripled because that 25 Escudos was actually issued for the Madeira Islands.
