The legend of Saint George and the Dragon tells of Saint George (died 303) taming and slaying a dragon that demanded human sacrifices; the saint thereby rescues the princess chosen as the next offering. The narrative was first set in Cappadocia in the earliest sources of the 11th and 12th centuries, but transferred to Libya in the 13th-century Golden Legend.
The narrative has pre-Christian origins (Jason and Medea, Perseus and Andromeda, Typhon, etc.), and is recorded in various saints' lives prior to its attribution to St. George specifically. It was particularly attributed to Saint Theodore Tiro in the 9th and 10th centuries, and was first transferred to Saint George in the 11th century.
The oldest known record of Saint George slaying a dragon is found in a Georgian text of the 11th century.
The legend and iconography spread rapidly through the Byzantine cultural sphere in the 12th century. It reached Western Christian tradition still in the 12th century, via the crusades. The knights of the First Crusade believed that St. George, along with his fellow soldier-saints Demetrius, Maurice and Theodore, had fought alongside them at Antioch and Jerusalem. The legend was popularized in Western tradition in the 13th century based on its Latin versions in the Speculum Historiale and the Golden Legend. At first limited to the courtly setting of Chivalric romance, the legend was popularized in the 13th century and became a favorite literary and pictorial subject in the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance, and it has become an integral part of the Christian traditions relating to Saint George in both Eastern and Western tradition.

Coins are a large collectors' market and creating professional images of collectibles is necessary for both catalog and online sales and auctioning. Coins come in various shapes, sizes, colors, materials and texture.
Over time they wear and tarnish and each coin develops an appearance as individual as a snowflake. These different coin surfaces, textures and reflectivity require different methods of photography to produce a satisfactory image, especially considering the subjective nature of collectibles. Some collectors like to see a coin's wear and toning, while others only appreciate the artistry. I’ve photographed gold & silver coins and bullion, ancient coins, world coins, proof coins, coin sets and banknotes. I’m sure that after you’ve seen the many samples of my work included in the Image Gallery, you’ll choose HipShot Photography to capture the character and beauty of your coins.

This ancient coin is from 218 AD and is part of my personal collection. It was shot as a raw coin. I love the texture and little cracks along the outer edge. I’ve been told that 75% of collectable coins are uncertified. Does that number seem high or low to you?

What do the words “DECUS ET TUTAMEN” mean in English?
This legend, often seen on lettered edges of some English Coins, is Latin for: An ornament and a safeguard.
It first appeared on the edge of all early large milled silver coins as a warning against “clipping”. It also appears on the edge of current U.K. and Northern Ireland one pound coins.

In 1797 the British government authorized Matthew Boulton to strike copper pennies and twopences at his Soho Mint, in Birmingham. It was believed that the face value of a coin should correspond to the value of the material it was made from, so each coin was made from two pence worth of copper (2 ounces). This requirement means that the coins are significantly larger than the silver pennies minted previously. The large size of the coins, combined with the thick rim where the inscription was punched into the metal, led to the coins being nicknamed "cartwheels". All "cartwheel" twopences are marked with the date 1797. In total, around 720,000 twopences were minted.

A small sample of early 1900's Canadian pennies. Personally, I love the warm tones of these coins.
In Canada, a penny is a coin worth one cent, or 1⁄100 of a dollar. According to the Royal Canadian Mint, the official national term of the coin is the "one-cent piece", but in practice the terms penny and cent predominate. Originally, "penny" referred to a two-cent coin. When the two-cent coin was discontinued, penny took over as the new one-cent coin's name. Penny was likely readily adopted because the previous coinage in Canada (up to 1858) was the British monetary system, where Canada used British pounds, shillings, and pence as coinage alongside U.S. decimal coins and Spanish milled dollars.
Production of the penny ceased in May 2012, and the Royal Canadian Mint ceased the distribution of them as of February 4, 2013. However, like all discontinued currency in the Canadian monetary system, the coin remains legal tender. Once distribution of the coin ceased, though, vendors were no longer expected to return pennies as change for cash purchases, and were encouraged to round purchases to the nearest five cents. Non-cash transactions are still denominated to the cent.

1636 Double Tournois of the French city state of Boisbelle and Henrichemont
The man on the coin with the ruffled collar is Maximilien de Béthune, 1st Duke of Sully, Marquis of Rosny and Nogent, Count of Muret and Villebon, Viscount of Meaux (13 December 1560 – 22 December 1641) He was a nobleman, soldier, statesman, and faithful right-hand man who assisted king Henry IV of France in the rule of France. Historians emphasize Sully's role in building a strong centralized administrative system in France using coercion and highly effective new administrative techniques. While not all of his policies were original, he used them well to revitalize France after the European Religious Wars. Most, however, were repealed by later monarchs who preferred absolute power.

These model coins were issued by Joseph Moore between 1844 and 1848, when the Government was tentatively discussing plans to replace the heavy copper coinage then in circulation. They were produced in such large numbers, and became so popular with the public, that the Royal Mint had to make an official pronouncement stating that they were not responsible for their manufacture.
Several variants using different dies exist. With the obverse, the types are distinguished by the letter of the word "Victoria" that the Queen's nose points to. With the reverse the types are distinguished by the number of horizontal lines within the numeral "1", varying between 27 and 34.

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

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.

In Roman mythology, Moneta was a title given to two separate goddesses: the goddess of memory and an epithet of Juno, called Juno Moneta. Her she is depicted holding scales & a cornucopia. Probably on the back of a bronze coin minted under Maximianus. Also Moneta means money in Latin.
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.

The Victory Medal (also called the Inter-Allied Victory Medal) is a United Kingdom and British Empire First World War campaign medal.
The award of a common allied campaign medal was recommended by an inter-allied committee in March 1919. Each allied nation would design a 'Victory Medal' for award to their own nationals, all issues having certain common features, including a winged figure of victory on the obverse and the same ribbon
The medal is bronze, circular and 36 millimeters (1.4 in) in diameter. While originally to be of dull bronze, the final award had a clear lacquer coating, giving it a bright finish. It was designed by William McMillan.
The obverse shows the winged, full-length, full-front, figure of 'Victory' (or 'Victoria') with her left arm extended and holding a palm branch in her right hand, similar to the statue surmounting the Queen Victoria Memorial, in front of Buckingham Palace in London.
The reverse has the words ‘THE GREAT / WAR FOR / CIVILISATION / 1914-1919' in four lines, all surrounded by a laurel wreath.
The 39 millimeters (1.5 in) wide watered ribbon has an iridescent colour scheme, with the violet moving through to a central red stripe where both schemes meet. It attaches to the medal through a ring suspender.
The recipient's name, rank, service number and unit were impressed on the edge of the medal. The name of the regiment or corps was omitted on medals awarded to Army officers.

Wilhelm I, also known as Wilhelm the Great (William Frederick Louis, German: Wilhelm Friedrich Ludwig) (March 22, 1797 – March 9, 1888) of the House of Hohenzollern was the King of Prussia (January 2, 1861 – 9 March, 1888) and the first German Emperor (18 January 1871 – 9 March, 1888). Under the leadership of Wilhelm and his prime minister Otto von Bismarck, Prussia achieved the unification of Germany and the establishment of the German Empire.
Bank of Canada 1937 Twenty Dollar Bill
Most Canadian bank notes from 1937 feature a portrait of King George VI (with exception of $100 and $1000 bills). Each denomination has a different color tint, just like modern currency does today. Twenty dollar bills are an olive green color. The first thing you will probably notice is that the left side of each bank note has English text and the right hand side has French text. This was a change from 1935 bank notes, which were printed with either just French or just English text. 1937 $20 bills were printed by The Canadian Bank Note Company, Limited.

An uncirculated British crown coin issued by the Royal Mint to mark the death of Winston Churchill in 1965. Made of cupronickel. "We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land, and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous virus rarely surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human history. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be."
