Tentative title for this image was "Odd man out." Of course, there is nothing odd about the hero of Mexican independence on this mid-80ies coin. But three other coins are distinctly different, circulating in Yugoslavia in the same period.
This is a small part of an exhibit at Birmingham Museum.
The artwork was done by Donald Rodney (1961- 1998) and titled as "Land of Milk and Honey II" Rodney was born in Birmingham. He used objects in his work to explore aspects of the human experience. His father migrated to Smethwick from the Carribean in the mid 20th century, in search of a better life in the "Land of Milk and Honey" The Vitrine contains coins and milk. They represent the 'sourced' reality many migrants actually experienced. The material he used will deteriorate and change over time.

This is a Japanese 500-yen coin that was renewed in November 2021. A bicolor clad with a two-color, three-layer structure. It's first one for me, last week.
I shot the front, back, and diagonals with multiple exposures, so it looks transparent, but of course it's not transparent.
I made this one-image photo using a two-axis, computer-controlled device. The coin was held in place using a banana clip and positioned on a rotary stage, while a linear axis moved the coin 35mm to the right. Both linear and rotary movements were made simultaneously, taking a total of 6 seconds. (X35 A55 F150)

I chose this quarter for the bright red poppies on it and it proved to be a good choice. Other coins I used didn't look as dramatic. I cloned out some of the dust on the table. I was surprised at how much dust appeared in the image because I was dusting it off after each shot. :-/
The reflection in the table top was pure serendipity.

Coins are used infrequently nowadays as most of us rely on notes or card payments but in the past, they were very important, particularly gold and silver coins.
This is a history of the 20th Century Kings and Queens of England in silver coins. The first two are silver rupees from India, followed by two Australian silver threepences and finishing with Canadian silver dollar!

Two or three weeks ago I put a photo into the Macro Mondays group that I called 'Staying Alive' where I used this 50 pence coin in a different composition. Well after I'd finished shooting that image I was about to clear up the patio table where I'd taken that shot when I noticed this bee on the ground. And you'll know what I mean when I say that you sometimes see bees on the ground that are very sluggish and almost unresponsive. This was one such bee. The gears started to whirl in my brain and I thought - Why not! So I gathered it up on a piece of cardboard and gently nudged it onto my coin and took a couple of quick shots. I then put him gently back onto the ground and let him bee...
So before anyone reports me, no bees were harmed in the making of this image!

Fun time with some coins, lightbox, and color prism. Hope you enjoy this series as much as I liked playing around with the light and angles of the light.
This was my test capture with regular light in the room for checking focusing. Then the lights went out and used the light prism for the colorful takes. Liked this in B&W.
Happy Monochrome Monday
Another very cold winter day in Maryland allowed me some fun time with some coins, lightbox, and color prism. Hope you enjoy this series as much as I liked playing around with the light and angles of the light.
Refuge de La Pra, Massif de Belledonne (Isère, Rhône-Alpes - France).
Nous étions fatigués et affamés quand nous avons atteint le refuge. Le soleil tapait fort, et l'air frais des 2110 mètres d'altitude était le bienvenu. Cette prairie symbolise pour nous le havre de paix idéal : la montagne, la nature, la solitude et... des ânes :)
