Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 05/27/2020 6:27 pm We have seen them on the forum before, numerous times. While we don't know exactly what they are or where/when they came from, we know that they're not a coin, and not all that old. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7965 Posts	Posted 05/27/2020 9:34 pm Agree. Possibly it is imitating any number of coins from around 1600 with a crowned sovereign wearing a "Spanish" (ruffled) collar. Report this Post to the Staff
Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 05/27/2020 10:58 pm The mizzen ( rear ) mast on that ship is square-rigged. I think that around 1600 it should be lateen rigged on European vessels. Also, it appears flush decked instead of having a raised forecastle and quarter deck. This causes me to suspect this illustration does not originate from that era but is too modern. My knowledge of this is sketchy, and I would appreciate more detail from any forum members.
