Since at least 1357 DR, the royal coinage of Cormyr was stamped with a dragon on the obverse and a treasury date mark on the reverse. By 1489 DR, this custom still endured.
Cormyrian-minted denominations were the following:
platinum piece: "tricrown"
gold piece: "lion"
electrum piece: "blue eye"
silver piece: "falcon"
copper piece: "thumb"
Although gold coins, the most common coin used by adventurers, were often called golden lions throughout the Realms, only the Cormyrian coins were actually stamped with the figure of a lion.
