I love the cover design featuring the Christopher Ironside 1960s reverse design for the 50p - we have the Ironside archive at the British Museum with both drawings and plaster casts of his designs #numismatics #Britannnia

I had been meaning to order a copy for a while but was prompted to do so by the A Mouthful of Air podcast I listened to last weekend where Caleb Parkin discusses the poem “Two tablespoonfuls” with Mark McGuinness
- definitely worth a listen!
