Congrats on a lovely coin and outstanding job on your PHD Dr. SaintRidley!
I am wondering as to your specialty?

Oriole, easier said than done. Medieval literature is not exactly a booming field. Fortunately my translation MFA significantly expands the number of opportunities I can go for in academia.

Congratulations on the PhD!
It's always nice to add a coin with a meaningful personal connection to one's collection! And you've got a nice one there! I hope it's part of your collection for many years to come!

Congratulations! That's really a long slog (mine was 35 years ago), and a great reward for the perseverance.
In case you haven't discovered these parts of the Forum, there is an Ancient and Medieval area, and on the Main Coin Forum's thread "How Far Back..." we are posting late 15th century coins now. Deciphering some of the legends on those coins is a lot of fun, and probably fits with your skills.
Will your job search keep you in the U.S., or take you elsewhere?

Congratulations on your terminal degree (highest degree awarded in your academic field).
Make sure that your family, friends, and colleagues are aware to place a coin in your doctoral hood at the hooding ceremony.
Doctoral hoods in academic dress are not worn as head wear, but have been worn since ancient times for collecting alms given to scholars to support their studies. In other words, it's your own personal walking endowment collection bin. This is why the doctoral hood has a special curve at the bottom. It's to catch coins.

tdziemia, The job search could take me pretty much anywhere. Just a matter of if I can find one and get it.
I do know about the ancient and medieval subforums, but I don't really have a great deal of expertise in that area. I've got a couple coins that qualify, though.

Nice!! I never thought to treat myself to a coin for obtaining PhD (I did buy myself a really good bottle of single malt whisky, however....)
