Lion and Sun is one of the main emblem of the Persians, used by Iran between 1846 and 1980. The symbol itself is largely astrological: the ancient sign of the sun in the house of Leo.

The sign appears in this nice zodiac ceramic kept in the Pergamon Museum, Berlin. The ceramic also shows the other member of the zodiac, in the familiar Persian depiction: the spotted Taurus, and the human figures clad in complete robes.
The Planetary Chocolate Set is introduced in 2009. Each chocolate cost 400 yen, but if you order the 3,800 yen set, you’ll get a free Sun! Disappointingly it’s a black sun with yellowish patch. I would personally make a chocolate covered in gold leaves and alcohol that would burst under fire, now that’s a true chocolate sun!
