  1. From the "Trad West" page on Facebook:

    "More than thirteen centuries ago, Byzantine Emperor Justinian II made a revolutionary change to imperial coinage: he placed the image of Jesus Christ on the principal face of the gold solidus, where the emperor’s portrait had traditionally appeared.

    Minted in Constantinople around 692–695, the coin depicts Christ facing forward, with long hair and a beard, a cross behind His head, one hand raised in blessing and the Book of the Gospels in the other. The inscription identifies Him as Jesus Christ, King of those who reign.

    Justinian appears on the reverse and identifies himself as the servant of Christ. The arrangement proclaimed that the emperor was not the highest authority: above every earthly ruler stood Jesus Christ, the true King of Kings."

  6. The US Mint stopped making the penny.

    The Treasury Secretary says it's no more.

    But the penny can still be saved. But time is running out.

  7. I've been collecting 2 euro coins for years.

    I used to find special coins from different countries a lot, and have a jar almost full of them.

    Their values varry from 2 to 75 euro each.

    The most uncommon one has always been coins from Monaco. I have about 4 of those, but since my daughter started working as cashier in a shop, she found 5 of them for me.

  22. In the Microwave with Saturn

    I read the Farmers Almanac newsletter. And yes, it makes me feel old but also sentimental because my Grandmother always had a copy on the table. And no, I’m not a gardener but damn – the recipes. This morning’s newsletter included Theresa Reed’s article about the beginning of Saturn retrograde.

    Astrology isn’t a vibe for me except for the occasional sip of shadenfreude when memes make fun of people in a flap about Mercury retrograde. It seems Saturn is taking Freddy Mercury’s place in the microwave.

    I’m feeling this one. Not the Mercury thing, the Saturn thing.

    Retrogrades are only frustrating if you are caught up in constant forward striving and wanted to get what you don’t have and get it now. Not everything is about new beginnings, not everything is constant personal growth and forward movement.

    Sometimes the energy is about the next phase, not a new beginning.

    It is about solidifying and maturing, and is very much attune to this time of year. After the seeds sprout, you have to let them grow up before you can celebrate the harvest.

    This isn’t a time of manifesting what you don’t have – this is a time of investing in what you do have. Now is a time to make all you’ve learned solid and real and lasting. It’s about maturing what you’ve already manifested.

    “Curing” comes to mind. Not the healing kind of way….in the resin and glue kind. Soaps, resin art, some glues, have to have time to ‘cure’ and become fully solid, durable, usable. It is akin to the aging process in fine wine.

    Would you rather climb up on a stack of wobbly boxes or a nailed-together step stool? This week, or even the next several months if this retrograde type vibe holds, is a time to reinforce this new place so it can become a solid foundation for later growth.

    We’ve talked a lot over the past several months about leaving what no longer serves. Walking away from the bad entails walking toward the good. Now we are at the next step in the process. We’ve given thoughts and energies to both the past and the future. Now it’s time to invest in here and now. Mindfulness is always good advice. This energy is mindfulness turned up to 11. This is very much a “repair and maintain” energy. This is a time to make it strong where you are.

    I hear “invest in this.” Invest time in the here and now. Things will move again, they always do. This is that next phase and new you that you’ve worked toward. Live here for a little while. Incorporate and integrate all that you have learned and achieved so far, whatever that is. And whatever that is – is perfectly good and enough.

    See you at the next sip

    A tight, monochromatic composition of overlapping silver coins transforms numismatic details into a landscape of relief and shadow. The sharp, denticulated edges and wavy tresses of the central profile are rendered with high-contrast precision, while the surrounding fragments create a rhythmic, almost sculptural texture. The stark tonal range and shallow depth of field emphasize the cold, metallic weight of history, lending the image an austere and tactile monumentality.
