Two British coins. The farthing dates from 1884. The other, one of my favorite coins, with the image of a druid, is not official coinage. The reverse is shown among those I posted on Wednesday: https://365project.org/mcsiegle/theme-months/2024-03-13 It's dated 1787 and says "We promise to pay the bearer one penny" and around the edge it continues "on demand in London Liverpool or Anglesey"
* This week I’m using “Scanography” (the scanner) — remembering a get pushed challenge someone once gave me to create a flat lay using that method.
@randystreat@jamibann Thanks. It appears I got both at some sort of coin show or other. There was a time, back a good number of years, I developed a fascination with coins -- not as a serious and organized collector really. It was a bit more random--attracted either by the beauty of some coins or bits of history revealed by the coins such as the cheaper metal of the German coins immediately after WWI and the French during WWII, and the difference in the French motto under the Vichy goverment. I haven't looked at most of these for a long time. I wish I had taken the time to make these flat lay "scanography" compositions more artistic. But I was a whole week behind (and need to get this week's rainbow going or I'll be in the same place again!)
