Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

 I just lost a bet with myself - seeing what the title was, I guessed it would be this one ...

Especially as knowing you like blacksmith coins, I thought it would be that one I picked!  :|

Well, that one is pretty masculine, but it does have a woman on the Observe, and the sovereign has a King with an Awesome beard, I took that into consideration.

PS  I obviously stole this Idea from Phill, good idea Phill

I wish my beard was as grand as George V's.

I can honestly say I have never considered a coin to be masculine or feminine before. But now that you mention it George V does possibly have the greatest beard in history; that said after Brian Blessed of course - and what could be more masculine than a depiction of a bloke skewering a Dragon.

Paul Hindenburg, Field Marshall and Wiemar President is probably the most manly man ever to appear on a coin. Check out the neck!

Is there really something more masculine than Hercules wrestling a lion with his junk hanging out?

Debatable.

VS.

QuoteThe Polish National Army attacked the Germans in West Prussia and Posen, driving tens of thousands from the big cities. Hindenburg planned an offensive in spring 1919 to recapture territory lost to Pilsudski’s forces, but General von Seeckt advised the German President to disarm Hindenburg and end the fighting in the east lest the Entente use it as an excuse to resume war against Germany.

Is it just me or does the obverse date on that look double struck?

It's inappropriate joke. It was no fun saving lives of many people while sacrificing your own.

I thought that too. I should have been the first to say it but I didn't as I am often down cast for closing down inappropriate jokes.
Dr. Math and jimpop would you mind if I removed the comments? PM me please if that is ok.

Diego, you have most excellent taste.

If I had the funds I would drop everything and start collecting Swiss shooting Thalers, they are right up there with Victorian colonial coins in my far from humble opinion.

Some of the future Presidential coins are sure to be pretty rugged and manly.




Some not so much.

Great coin, I agree with Phil, I could collect all the Shooting Festival coins if they were not so rare. My favorite Shooting Thaler is posted in, "is this the worlds most Beautiful coin?"

If you're looking for a masculine coin regarding sport then I think this would certainly be one of them.

I gotta say that I don't find coins with nude men on them masculine at all. They strike me as rather gay... which as far as I understand about male culture does not equate with masculine. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. (Also one should be aware that I am exceptionally LGBTQ positive. I'm talking about stereotypical masculinity here, because that seems to be the issue at hand.)
