King Arthur Penny
In early periods it was comon to wear coins as pendants. Here is a coin from the period of King Arthur. It is NOT a copy of an existing artifact, but a rendition of what might have been. The real king Arthur lived in the 5th to 6th centuries, just after the fall of the Roman Emprire. So here is a coin as the real Arthur Pendragon himself might have issued it, in late Roman style with Latin inscriptions. The inscription is ARTORIUS DUX BELLORUM BRIT(anniae), meaning "Arthur, War Lord of Britain". On reverse, The victrix winged female figure bearing palm frond and laurel wreath, personifying victory, was at that time gradually morphing into a christian image of an angel. MONS BADONIS refers to the Battle of Badon Hill, Arthurs greatest victory (circa 490). PCAM is the Roman style mint designation, standing for "Pecunia Camelot." The silver penny shown
Sea Begger's Moon
The Sea Begger's Moon comes from the Dutch War of Independence (1500's). When the occupying Spanish Catholic forces were pushing the Dutch into the sea (in their fishing vessels), they contemptuously referred to them as "Sea Beggers". The Dutch adopted the name as a rallying cry, and came back to force the Spanish out of Holland. I've been told that the inscription on one side reads "Give no quarter, take no quarter" and on the other, "Better dead than Papist". Some things never change. Cast in pewter it is $10.
