And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Excellent collection, but needs at least one with the Athenian Owl
Fascinating seeing how they have been struck, gives them a certain character. Like to know the difference in value between being struck to right now. I think the great thing with specie, it can not be counterfeited,(easily, look at the faked gold bars made of gold covered carbide blocks recently, thats quite the swindle finding your horde of gold bars is close to worthless, got to hurt), never looses value, it ain't fiat nor never can be, incredibly stabilizing effects on the economy, keeps banks honest, last, the elite's despise specie with all their black little hearts, in regular folks hands, and that right there is all you really have to know. They are going to end up having to give up those stockpiles to protect themselves, just saying.
Drachams and tetradrachms

ReplyDeletethe woman's head as fortress symbolizing the country can be seen on Fascist Italian coins and medals.
ReplyDeletethe Corinthian helmet on the coin is a bit more emphatic but representative of their prevailing phallic style- not often noted or discussed.
