The Lydian Lion – a reference to the origins of coinage

The Lydian Lion motif refers to Lydian coins minted around the 6th century BC from electrum, a natural alloy of gold and silver. The distinctive head of a roaring lion was a symbol of power and remains one of the most recognizable motifs associated with the beginnings of coinage. This modern titanium medal is not legal tender and has no face value.

Obverse and reverse of the medal
