The theme this month was politics and change.
Here are some
items that show this well. A Charles I Royalist badge and top right a Sierra
Leonne anti slavery penny token. in the centre is a modern coin from
Slovenia. A partisan with the symbol
of the communist regime on a modern coin was controversial. Some considered the
partisan commander as a war criminal, while others called it a provocation
precisely because it happened when Slovenia was preparing to celebrate its
twenty years of independence.
At the bottom two
less controversial coins, a 50 p commemorating the Battle of Hastings and a
£2.00 commemorating the Magna Carta.
