Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 02/13/2024 10:55 pm That would be 1572, not 1571. 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

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 02/14/2024 06:23 am Spink is the most referenced book for all UK coins from pre-Roman right up to date. Full title is "Coins of England and the United Kingdom" issued by Spink each year. In recent years has been split into two volumes - pre-decimal and decimal. For pre-decimal coins it is probably only worth replacing every few years as not much changes. You should find both volumes on Amazon for 2024. Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 02/19/2024 6:20 pm Any Bess with a semblance of an intact portrait and mostly discernible legends is always a keeper, as so many coins are found clipped or otherwise damaged. POSVI DEV ADIVTOREM MEV - note the missing "M" in "DEVM" and "MEVM" - space was apparently at a premium and yet they left it ADIVTOREM (complete with misspelling of EM for VM) 'I have put God as my helper' but usually interpreted 'I have made God my helper', Psalm 52:7 "Ecce homo..." or "Behold the man..." The implication is that one should put God first and derive one's strength from Him, rather than drawing one's strength from greed, wickedness and personal enrichment. Under Henry VII this was unintentionally ironic - Henry VII was legendary for stealing from others (via all kinds of taxes and other chicanery) with the promise of using it to benefit all, but spending all of it upon himself instead. Under Henry VIII this was intentionally ironic - Henry VIII is firmly establishing that God (i.e. the Church of England) serves him and not the other way round Under Elizabeth I it was fairly authentic (as long as you weren't a Catholic, at least.) The Good Queen Gloriana was indeed a charitable and highly devout ruler who derived much of her personal strength from her faith in the Lord, or so say the historians (as long as they weren't Catholic, either.)
