Free set of proof coins to USA based community member who can guess the famous British woman I'm thinking about!!!!!!!!
Hint: English was definitely not her first language, nor her second for that matter.
Feel free to guess once a day until the contest ends!!!!!!!
I may add more hints as time goes by if no one guesses correctly.

I'm not in U.S.A., but I'm sure I can find some one to send these to if I'm correct.

Queen Victoria?

Thank you for this excellent contest, Captain Mandrake! How about Boudicca?

All great guesses! The next clue was going to be that English was not her third language nor her fourth because she never spoke English at all!!!!
Hondo Boguss wins the proofs with Boudicca, the great British heroine who led her Iceni people in a revolt against the Romans and who spoke the Celtic language of the day!!!
