My Son has Passed a Major Milestone on his Way to Becoming a Doctor: in recognition - VICTORIA

My family and I have been holding our breath for the last 3 days while my eldest son sat for a major examination at his University School of Medicine.

This examination, lasting 3 full days is taken after 5+ years of study in medicine, and is the last major prerequisite toward full state certification at the end of the 6th/7th year.

We saw how hard he worked to prepare himself - the journey was on occasion quite difficult and the stress level at the end enormous - but he has succeeded, and we are enormously happy for him.

In his honor I am posting these coins depicting VICTORIA.
He really deserves it.

To you, my son:

Sestertius of Galba - Victoria advancing holding palm and wreath:



As of Trajan - The emperor being crowned by Victoria:




And, since he likes coins too (my influence, I guess), I am gifting him this United States Large Cent struck in the year 1794 - 200 years before we was born in 1994:




Please post your coin of Victoria.
