Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Arms_of_England

Although royal emblems depicting lions were used by the Norman dynasty, a formal and consistent English heraldry system emerged during the 12th century. The escutcheon, or shield, featuring three lions is traced to King Richard I of England's Great Seal of the Realm, which initially used a single lion rampant, or else two lions, but in 1198, was permanently altered to depict three lions passant.

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Denmark

The National Coat of Arms of Denmark consists of three crowned blue lions accompanied by nine red hearts, all in a golden shield. The oldest known depiction of the insignia dates from a seal used by King Canute VI c. 1194.

One of the things I like most about the coin is the fact they used a square nail to punch the hole. Guy probably lost it off the string around his neck and was kicking himself thereafter!

 

[lidigger]

Truly amazing! You guys are finding coins that are older than the United States. I am so jealous.
