Another view of the new British reverses

[mcroft]

I like the unified theme.

Still the same person on the obverse, though. I'd like to see sovereigns like our US Presidents, because there are so many more difficult situations. All we have to worry about is "does anyone still care that Buchanan was worse than Bush could ever be?"

The Brits have to deal with questions like "Do we put Jane, the Nine Days Queen, on a coin?" and "Is it tacky to show just the head of Charles I?" and "Is Williamandmary really a single, two-headed, siameese twin of a Sovereign?"

Jane's not that much different from WH "31 days" Harrison, though.

Hmm. I'm not sure about that. It's more like the Catholic Church's official timelines for periods where there were two competing anti-popes, both of whom had excommunicated the other.

We should do more of that!

I love this sort of stuff. We Americans are extremely conservative and boring with our monetary designs.

Showing just the head of Charles I might be a suitable cautionary note for Charles the Next....
