Moustaches

Hi all. I'm new here and in the process of uploading my collection to this site (great by the way) I'm mainly a collector of Victorian coins but I'm diversifying my collection, partly out of boredom but it also gives me something to aim at.

I'm on a hunt for any coins that feature a head with a moustache. Just a moustache, no beard. The British monarchs had a good go at growing a moustache but the beard renders them omitted from my collection.

Post the best examples in this thread and I'll seek them out.
Umberto I of Italy has a superb moustache

Luiz I and Carlos I of Portugal both sported soup strainers

Fuad of Egypt had a lip slug

There's a few to start you off...but seriously, that hedge that Umberto has rampant on his face is seriously awe inspiring.
What? Me Worry

​This is exactly the kind of thing I'm after. Thanks.
i have an Umberto coin but I will put the others on my list.
There is even a tag for "mustache" (should indeed be moustache), but it's far from complete. At least we now have a member who will use this weird tag ;)

CarlosSilver, you now have the task to complete the list of coins with this tag X-D
Just call me Bram

No new swaps for the moment, still too many half-ongoing swaps to clean up!
As Bram pointed out, there is a tag, however his link wont show all because of search settings, there are now 157 Moustache tags: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?mode=avance&p=1&l=&r=&e=&d=&ru=&i=&ca=3&no=&m=&v=&t=&a=&w=&dg=&f=&u=&k%5B%5D=42&g=&c=&tb=y&tc=y&tn=y&tp=y&tt=y&te=y&cat=y

​? Great stuff. Thanks.
Got impresed by the tittle of the post :O. Went through my collection and found some, hope it helps:

- Several Argentina coins with the portait of Jose de San Martin
- You may have several Franz Joseph I without full bear (for instance just 1 example).
- 1000 Reis Brasil Independence Centennial
- Several Dominican Republic with the portait of Duarte
- You will find, for sure, several of Wilhelm II of Germany
- You will find several in Greece (George I, CONSTANTINE KANARIS, GEORGIOS KARAISKAKIS)
- A lot of Victorio Emanuele III

Does the facial hair of Franz Joseph, Emperor of Austria, count as a beard or a moustache or some variation? I would love to hear the members' opinions on this.
I'm more of a side burn man myself
Small moustaches matter too :

​I think the facial hair community would call it a moustache with chops.

​He's on the list. Thanks.
Cuba’s José Martí should also be on your list, though he also sported a cookie duster
