Have some nice coins that I cannot find or think I have and might be correct. Edited by Sap 07/25/2008 08:34 am Report this Post to the Staff

Obverse shows St George with the Latin title "St George, Protector of Knights" and the other shows the biblical scene where Jesus is sleeping in the back of the boat while a storm rages; the legend on this side translates to "In the storm, safety". If you google the Latin phrase you can find a few for sale, like http://cgi.ebay.com/British-medal-c...us_W0QQitemZ 180243706772QQcmdZViewItem?IMSfp=TL0805170943a22708 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.
