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: https://coinofnote.com/1963-australian-penny-keyring/

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

3) Jody Clark portrait with memorial dates, on 2023 Sydney Opera House 50c: https://coinofnote.com/2023-sydney-opera-house-50th-anniversary/

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.

Happy World Art Day.

Art isn't decoration. It's a record of what we noticed, what moved us, what we want to hold onto. What we want to consign to oblivion.

"Say Anything: Abolish Ice" is part of that conversation.

In honor of today, I'm offering 20% off in my shop through Saturday. Code: ARTDAY26.
