“Coins are a vital source of evidence for many aspects of the past.” — Richard Kelleher https://clickapp.com/zk/cid/QmQVFc5CSRu4SNJVQ4tvecZf5Eor8p9CCCS4C7R5qfszLf \#clickoftheday #clickdeepreals #monuments #unitedkingdom #friday The more you know 💡 The coin in the photo appears to be a 19th‑century British silver piece from the reign of Queen Victoria, probably a shilling or half‑crown with the famous “Young Head” portrait designed by engraver William Wyon and the inscription “VICTORIA DEI GRATIA.” These coins were struck in sterling silver and circulated widely across the Victorian Empire, making them some of the most collected pieces in British numismatics today. Finding a coin like this in Lincoln is fitting: the city has a deep minting and monetary history, with medieval and Anglo‑Saxon coins bearing Lincoln mint marks preserved in local museum collections and studied by historians as evidence of the region’s role in England’s early economy. Holding this worn Victorian silver in your hand links everyday life in 19th‑century Britain to the present moment on a winter day in Lincoln - a small, heavy reminder of how value and memory travel together through time.
