JMerrick Valued Member Guatemala 357 Posts	Posted 12/31/2010 3:37 pm The last try was too easy to Google. This one isn't. It's also fair game to international collectors... Which English queen is not pictured or named on any coinage of her period? First prize... Excellent bragging rights. Report this Post to the Staff

Both were heirs presumptive (with neither taking part in a coronation) until the male sides of the families got rid of them. Report this Post to the Staff
JMerrick Valued Member Guatemala 357 Posts	Posted 12/31/2010 7:00 pm Vic, There are coins surviving bearing the image of one of those two women... Report this Post to the Staff
thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 12/31/2010 10:54 pm Ah, I see now my old Seaby's Catalogue does have one coin listed for Matilda by name but not image, so is the answer to your trivia quiz Lady Jane Grey? Can I start bragging? Report this Post to the Staff
JMerrick Valued Member Guatemala 357 Posts	Posted 01/01/2011 12:03 am The answer is indeed Lady Jane Grey... But it wasn't the men in the family who got rid of her... It was her Catholic cousin, Mary. Report this Post to the Staff
