A bit of a stretch.
I don’t see the ‘Samson’ connection at all............

I can see the lion (sort of) but I don’t see a human.

Do we really need more proof?

I can see the lion (sort of) but I dont see a human. I think the human is supposed to be the blob to the far right edge of the coin. This is grasping at straws in my opinion, wishful thinking.

God’s Word is enough proof for me.

Could be anybody unless it was marked this is Samson slaying a lion.

Looks more like a Viking Kitty taking care of an obot.

It also looks like a little guy is riding on the back of the lion, with a spear sticking out of his back.

I see the animal and the man (the man is to the far right) but I have to wonder if it could be a depiction of David slaying the lion?! David was known for that, too.
To: Red Badger
It’s a reverse ~ you need some warm wax to press it into ~ then you’ll see the guy and the lion ~ with perspective a good 1500 years before that concept became common in art.

Amen. An adulterous generation seeks for a sign. Believers know because they believe - scoffers need proof, and yet still won’t believe!

Looks to me like Adama riding a lion in the garden and Eve trying to feed it an apple.

Do we really need more proof? Indeed we do. That'll be in the form of more public taxpayer grants to starving educational institutions to fund otherwise unemployable grad students.

Now Samson and the lion, they got in a tack,
Samson he crawled up on the lion’s back.
You read about this lion, he killed a man with his paws,
But Samson got his hands around that lion’s jaws.
He ripped the beast till he killed him dead.
And the bees made honey in the lion’s head.

Or to use a non biblical source Hercules slaying the Nemean Lion.
