For Sweden - With the Time

Another entry for the macro money theme - looks good enlarged/on black. This is a commemorative coin issued in Sweden honoring the 40th anniversary of King Carl Gustav XVI. His head is on the other side, but I liked the side with the crown better for photographic purposes. The Swedish currency is actually called the Crown, Kronor in Swedish. The inscription translates as "For Sweden - With the Time," the Royal motto of King Gustav. The bottom inscription means Sweden's King for 40 years.

Nice macro. I don't seem to have real good luck taking macro. Guess the fact that I am low on patience doesn't help matters!

Superb macro detail with lovely angled lighting and colour Ron, a excellent entry in the macro challenge:)

@aglennc Thanks Anita. It does help to have the super fancy macro lens - but you do also have to have patience! I know you really do.

@pcoulson Thanks Peter. I am impressed that you identified the angled lighting effect! There were some very good entries in the money macro challenge.
