  1. Happy 100th anniversary of birth to the late Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty would have been 100 today.

    In honour of the occasion, here are four images, three gold-coloured (not actual gold) coins, and some art:

    1) The 1st portrait by Mary Gillick, from an Australian pre-decimal penny: coinofnote.com/1963-australian

    2) The Arnold Machin portrait on the first circulating pound coin: coinofnote.com/1979-isle-of-ma

    3) Jody Clark portrait with memorial dates, on 2023 Sydney Opera House 50c: coinofnote.com/2023-sydney-ope

    4) Two composite images together - left: A picture I made, of coins with each of the portraits overlaid on a larger image of a penny with the Mary Gillick portrait. Right: A picture I bought of the Queen's portrait made up of stamps of her image.

  2. The Coin Collecting merit badge is a fun way to connect with history 💰. Each coin tells a story, and Scouts learn to study designs, markings, and condition 🔍.

    They also practice goal setting and organizing collections. These skills build confidence and curiosity while preparing Scouts for school and life 🌟.

    Coin collecting can grow into a lifelong hobby, making this badge both interesting and useful.
