Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 10/03/2010 6:40 pm The text around the ship reads "STYRINGHEIMVS". The "Barony of Styringheim" is a fictional country and is the name used by a mediaeval re-enaction society in Sweden, a branch of the Society of Creative Anachronism. The guy on the obverse is probably meant ot be a depiction of the Baron of the day. Here's a Google Translation of their webpage. Such historical re-enactors (or "rennies") often strike mediaeval-style coins, as demonstrations of how coins used to be made in olden-times, using hand-carved dies and a guy with a big hammer. I would assume this "coin" is just such a piece, made in Viking style. 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
