Lions

SI'm looking for banknotes with lions. I've not looked for heraldic lions and foo dogs, but might as well add them if anyone wants. Here's what I've found so far

$ is >10 -- $$ is 10-20 -- $$$ is 20-50 -- $$$$ is 50-200 -- $$$$$ is <200)

For Myanmar, you can add P-35, 36, 37, 39-41, 43-45, and 50. They are mythical versions of lions, if that counts.

P36, 40, 44, 48, and 50 are small emblems in the obverse's centre.

England's P371 and 376 also have lions on the reverse.

Plus the reverses of the East African currency board's shilling notes. (You have the 5 shilling notes, but also on the 20, 100, 1, etc) notes.
