paul wood Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Uslng English Charles rather than carolvs, his granfather and great-grandfather used the name georgivs, bit odd as the rest of the legend is Latin. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P That is interesting. Sure there must be a reason for this. Not well versed in Latin, Google translate has Elizabeth as Elizabeth. If that’s correct this would explain why she appeared to have a mixture of English and Latin to the untrained eye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Victoria was a latin name and as you say Elizabeth, is Elizabeth, monarchs names on coins from 1483 Richard Ricardvs, Henry Henricvs, Edward Edwardvs, Mary Maria, James Jacobvs, Charles Carolvs, William Gvilielmvs, George Georgivs. But if you are having D:G: Dei Gratia (by Grace of God) F:D: Fidei Defensor (Defender of the Faith (interestingly a title given to Henry VIii by the pope on his refutation of Luther's teachings)) sudely hd should use his latin name of Carolvs. P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Greaves Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) I posted about these coins on the wrong thread-so here is some additional clutter showing both obverse and reverse of these coins. I saw a news announcement about the 2 coins released today by the U.K.’s Royal Mint with images of King Charles III. To quote the information reported today in Artnet News (https://news.artnet.com/art-world/king-charles-mint-coin-2184321): "The U.K.’s Royal Mint has unveiled an official coin depicting the new monarch, King Charles III. On October 3, the Mint will release a memorial range of £5 and 50p coins to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II. These will also feature a portrait in profile of the king, which will be the public’s first chance to spot his effigy in their spare change. The reverse of the commemorative £5 coin will also feature two new portraits of the late queen designed by John Bergdahl, who specializes in coins. On the reverse of the commemorative 50p coin will be a design from 1953 originally used to celebrate the queen’s coronation. It features four shields decorated with the Royal Arms and emblems of the four nations: a rose for England, a thistle for Scotland, a shamrock for Northern Ireland, and a leek for Wales. The king’s likeness was made by the British sculptor Martin Jennings, whose statue of John Betjeman is installed at St. Pancras station and of Philip Larkin at Hull Paragon Interchange station. The portrait was personally approved by Charles.... It is traditional in British coinage that a monarch faces the opposite direction of their predecessor. Therefore, the king will face left on the coin, in the opposite direction of the queen. His head is encircled with a Latin inscription meaning 'King Charles III, by the Grace of God, Defender of the Faith.'

paul wood Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Prior to the late queens third issue (Markouf design) no coins from the milled coinage of charles Ii1662) to the jubillee and old head conage of Victoria (1887-1901) bore the crowned monarchs effigy so the crowned effigy is the exception rather than the rule.
