Here's one for today "Hope Anchors the soul"
We have this hope
as an anchor
for the soul,
firm and secure
it enters the inner
sanctuary
behind the curtain
From Hebrews 6:19

I am saddened today to read, in this week's E-Sylum, of the passing of Paul Withers, of Galata coins in the UK. Galata have produced some fantastic books on tokens and coins. I have corresponded with Paul and his wife Bente on several occasions for purchases and research, and they were very helpful and friendly.

From this week's E-Sylum: "Banknotes Salvaged, Looted, or Lost by Shipwreck" has been updated to include ALL forms of transit:
"A study of 57 known shipwrecks and confiscated cargos of consigned banknotes from 44 countries, 15 printers and 3 paper mills - 1779 forward".
The book was particularly updated after the crash of a Lockheed C-130 Hercules in Bolivia with a consignment of 10, 20, & 50 Bolivianos on board. A frenzy of about 20,000 people attempted to cart off some of some the 60,000+ banknotes spewed about La Paz airport wreck site. More: https://www.coinbooks.org/v29/esylum_v29n24.html#article3

Ok it's nearly #Newsletter time. This one might be an easy #MysteryCoin (but I am notoriously bad at picking which ones are easy or hard) - in any case, what IS this coin, and who issued it?
