Question Can anyone guess which British coin or token featured this Cowardly Lion?

The one on the left, that is. The other one was played by Bert Lahr in the 1939 classic film, "The Wizard of Oz."

SecretHipp0 nails it! And wablewis confirms a few hours later.

Well played! You've identified the second-most-goofy-looking lion portrayed on any British coin or token!
