tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 02/05/2019 8:30 pm Quote: the daddy of Philip II, Charles V, had a beard too ! it seems almost all rulers were barbarians in those days In this thread we are using coins to document the rise and fall, and rise again of the beard among the Western ruling class over the last 5 centuries. Starting in the 1540s we see beards on European rulers: - in France, the testons of Francois I 1515-1547) start with a cleanshaven king, but the latest issues show him bearded - in England, Henry VIII (1509-1547) likewise progresses from cleanshaven in his first and second coinages to bearded in the third and later ones. - in Poland, Sigismund I (1506-1548) is cleanshaven, but his son Sigismund II is bearded in the first coins with his image (1547) - and Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor (1519-1556) (but Duke of Burgundy and Spanish Netherlands from even earlier) can be found cleanshaven on some coins from early in his reign, but sports a full beard by the 1540s. It goes out of fashion about 100 years later. Then reappears in the 19th century Report this Post to the Staff
