    Great eye appeal, too. Love how well it works in conjunction with the design of the trade dollar.

    We are like children who look at print and see a serpent in the last letter but one, and a sword in the last.

    CK, I used to agree but in a moment of weakness/clarity took a closeup of Britannia's face - yikes! I love the posture of Britannia astride the classical Roman-style ship but she looks so sour, with plenty of dower and glower.....
    I like the newer Britannia/Boudicaa version on the bullion, especially as charioteer (but don't look at her face to closely either).
