Corked!
For 'Macro Mondays' theme of 'On a Coin'.
Issued for the 1951 'Festival of Britain' the Crown or 'Five Shilling' piece is about 1 and a half inches in diameter. On top a small pharmaceutical bottle complete with cork.
I had hoped to show a lovely coloured liquid in the bottle, and I managed to get in some red food colouring. Unfortunately, the bottle fell over while I was trying to balance it on the uneven surface of the coin - the colouring discoloured the cork and the remaining liquid subsequently refused to go to the bottom of the bottle!
(There was no bad language uttered during the making of this photiograph.)
This little flask-shaped bottle was never intended to stand up and I had to grind down the bottom to get anything like a flat surface.
