    Ouch! Must be something going around. Just talked to an old friend who had a bunch of teeth crowned this week. Good reason to post a pretty coin, though!

    I had A crown done last month.



    Six? You show off.





    Here's a Double Florin with a crown. The denomination Double Florin was very short lived since it was too often mistaken for Crown.

    Four's the best I can do with one coin.



    image







    I was totally not understanding the "crown" references in a dental context.



    Maybe because I lost my race trying to keep up with all that a couple of years ago and finally just said, "Go ahead- yank 'em all."



    And so they did. I still have most of my lower teeth, but nothing topside.

    Just thank your lucky stars you live in the 21st century, in an era of good anesthesia drugs. image

    That's engraved on an 1861 quarter. (Not my coin, as you can see. Interesting piece, but unfortunately priced to the moon.)



    I wonder if that's actually an instrument of Civil War-era dental torture after all, or if it's forceps like an obstetrician might have used? Bears further research.

    Here's William the Conqueror (ruled 1066 - 87); the man wearing the crown who started the modern British monarchy. In those days there was only one denomination, a silver penny.

    Back in the day it was not good for your health to mess with Billy the Conqueror. He built the Tower of London for two purposes. First it was assue the people that he had a military for and was ready to defend England against the Vikings and other outside invaders. Second it served notice that if you didn't accept Billy as your new king, you could end up in prison or worse.

    The Tower of Londer was a home for kings. It was also had a prison, a torture chamber and spot for executions.

    Here is a groat (4 pence) of Henry VI (1422 - 61, deposed, 1470-1, deposed again). Henry became the King of England when he was nine months old, which made him the youngest British king ever. At three years of age they had to remove him from Parliament for making ruckus. That was perfectly understandable since he was just past his "terrible twos."


    Henry was cut out to be king. He had a mental disorder which caused him to lose it at times. He was deposed from the crown twice. After the second time he was imprisoned in the Tower of London were he was murdered. This was often the fate of former kings and queens who were detained there.
