I have a fairly large EL collection, though it's not on hand at the moment and I'm apparently poor at taking photos. Here's a (rather poor photo) of a lydia trite that I have on hand though. (The photo is on hand, not the coin). 

Great coin!  I like the bankers mark on the chunky cookie!

She is the wife and shakti(energy) of Vishnu, a major god in Hinduism.[2] Lakshmi is also an important deity in Jainism and found in Jain temples.[3] Lakshmi was also a goddess of abundance and fortune for Buddhists, and was represented on the oldest surviving stupas and cave temples of Buddhism.[4][5] In Buddhist sects of Tibet, Nepal and southeast Asia, goddess Vasudharamirrors the characteristics and attributes of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi with minor iconographic differences." -Wikipedia.org

Here is my brother’s frog.

I used to have a pair of fire belly toads that lived in my brother’s room because I already had 4 lizards in mine.  He would complain about the croaking at night.  He also wanted to name them, one was Ben and the other was Dover.  Despite his complaints, I’m sure he became attached to them, even though he would never admit it.
