The Old Man and the Sea is a short novel written by the American author Ernest Hemingway in 1951 in Cuba, and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction by Hemingway that was published during his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it tells the story of Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Cuba.
In 1953, The Old Man and the Sea was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and it was cited by the Nobel Committee as contributing to their awarding of the Nobel Prize in Literature to Hemingway in 1954

The name of the figure of the equestrian statue is unknown, but the three arches are thought to represent a section of an aqueduct begun by the Censor M. Aemilius Lepidus in 179 BC, perhaps depicting specifically where it crossed the Via Praenestina. The moneyer may have been the son of another M. Aemilius Lepidus, the consul of 126 BC.

Under the Occupation, the highest denomination of the new design series was the 25 cents coin. It shows a charming though highly stylized representation of a Viking ship. This represents the Netherlands as both a seafaring nation and a Germanic people. You may note that the Vikings did not originate in the Netherlands, of course.

Modernized Bridal Headdresses
Two months ago, while examining my father's coin collection, I noticed that there was a woman's head over 50 cents. The headdress that the woman wore caught my attention and I did a research. This woman is Sabiha Tansuğ. A photograph of Tansuğ with the "Ankara Bride Headdress" was printed on 50 cents and Sabiha Tansuğ went down in history as the first folk artist in the world whose portrait was minted for coins. Women's bridal headdresses were brought to Anatolia in the 9th and 11th centuries by nomads who migrated from Central Asia. It is stated in various sources that Uyghur women make very different and flamboyant head layouts, wear patent leather-lacquered shoes (boğtak) and attach importance to jewelry. Boğtak headdress shows similarities with high headdresses seen in Anatolia. Uyghur women make their hair bun and decorate it with a crown. In addition to the short caps, in the Boğtak headdress with a forward slope, the top of which is wider, the cover that is covered from the top goes down to the waist in the back. These headdresses, which are decorated with precious stones, also have some feathers attached to
them. In the sorch frescoes, it can be seen how much importance women give to hair toilet. The female foundations with hair curled in hard curls and shaped like a butterfly have a short top on their head. High bulge headdresses seen in Uyghurs were used by married women in Mongols. Based on this idea, I wanted to design modernized bridal headpieces.

The Indian Head one-cent coin was produced by the United States Mint from 1859 through 1909. It was designed by James Barton Longacre, the Engraver at the Philadelphia Mint.
The obverse of the coin shows UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, an Indian head facing to the left, wearing a feather bonnet. The word LIBERTY is shown on the band across the bonnet, and shows the production date below.
The coin's reverse side shows ONE CENT within a laurel wreath. In 1860 the reverse design was changed slightly, showing ONE CENT within an oak wreath, with three arrows inserted under the ribbon that binds the two branches of the wreath. Above and between the ends of the branches is the shield of the United States.
The coins that were struck between 1859 and 1864 were composed of 88 percent copper and 12 percent nickel, as required by law. In 1864, the weight of the coins was reduced from 72 grains to the present weight of 48 grains, and the alloy changed to 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc. Research in 1863 indicated that bronze was an excellent alloy for minor coins, and so the copper-nickel alloy was discontinued. Total production of the Indian Head cent was 1,849,648,000 pieces.

71 years ago..... Canadian encased coins
Encased coins are coins that have been inserted into a holder that changes the character of the coin from money to an advertising or souvenir device. The concept was really popularized at the Pan American Exposition in 1901 and was used extensively throughout the 20th century for advertising. This coin was produced in 1949 for Charles Ogilvy Ltd. For much of the 20th century, Charles Ogilvy Ltd., known as “Ogilvy’s”, was a top department store. Famous for tartan boxes, this was the place to shop for “quality” goods of every description, and where staff spent a lifetime.

Spanish colonial pieces of eight like this one were struck at the Mexico City mint, and at other locations in the Americas. They were used in trade the world over. This particular piece was part of a shipment by the Dutch East India Company to its Far Eastern operation. The ship Hollandia was a "retour" vessel on its maiden voyage, sadly, with an inexperienced crew unable to cope with navigation during a storm. The 1743 wreck is located off the southwest coast of England. More about this on my website -- check my profile for the URL.
