rikcando Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 12:18 am Hey, does looking like Richard Nixon count? The previous monarchs didn't look like him. Is that a tradition? Report this Post to the Staff

I know, I know, English is not my native language, maybe it was too ambitious an undertaking for me! I was trying to express the questions as clearly as I could. Report this Post to the Staff
rikcando Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 12:22 am Your English is perfect in this case. The entire English numismatic population calls it an effigy. But that does not mean it is correct. Just like calling our steel pennies magnetic. They are not, just try sticking one of those to your fridge. Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 12:23 am Edited the question Report this Post to the Staff
rikcando Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 12:35 am Queen Victoria wore the Imperial State Crown instead of St. Edward Crown. Edward VIII faced left instead of right. Queen Elizabeth :The crowned effigy was essentially used in "colonies" while the uncrowned was used in self-governing dominions. She is both crowned and uncrowned in some self-governing dominions.

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 01:02 am Good answer but I have to say no. Report this Post to the Staff
rikcando Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 01:21 am Have to say no, interesting choice of words. You didn't actually say that my answer was wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
rikcando Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 01:23 am That's ok svslav, I am just having fun with you. I am personally impressed that it took you so long to determine whether or not it was an acceptable answer. Wrong, but still proud, I am. Report this Post to the Staff

rikcando Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 01:44 am I never got an answer to my Nixon question. I bet that is #3. I'm off to bed now. I need to pick up my wife at work in the morning and I don't think I'll be here tomorrow night if I'm still sleeping when she gets out. Good luck all! Report this Post to the Staff
