As we come to the end of the Christmas season, celebrating the birth of Christ, here is a medallion featuring the reason Jesus came to us, from John 3:16. Let's take a couple of verses either side for more context:

John 3:14 "Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son."

This week's E-Sylum notes the birthday (anniversary) of Sir Isaac Newton. Famed physicist and victim of falling apples, he was also Warden of the Royal Mint where he took quite an interest and made quite an impact. Read more: https://www.coinbooks.org/v29/esylum_v29n01.html#article20

Tomorrow we release the blueprint v0.9 for one of our central tools - the foundation for our work over the coming decades.

To provide more than just a manual, we’ve included a demo sandbox with synthetic fixtures. Feel free to adapt the model or join us on the journey.

I recently acquired a new 1902 Series $5 National Currency bank note (Fr. 600) from the Continental National Bank of Indianapolis (Ch. 9537), which operated from 1909 to 1931, and was absorbed by Indiana National Bank.

The signature on the lower left is Arthur H. Taylor, so this bank note likely entered circulation around 1912 to 1919. Not sure who's on the lower right.
