I'm not late for #SaturdayNightCoinShow, it turns out time is an illusion (Lunchtime doubly so). Since I've started whimsical, I'll go with the fun piece I just wrote up - an Imitation Spade Guinea "In memory of the good old days". You should definitely read:https://coinofnote.com/imitation-spade-guinea-good-old-days-uk/ - it talks of #gold #coins I can't afford, imitations of which there are many, garden implements & late 1800s #theatre! Enjoy :)
