    Thou still unravish'd bride of quietness,

    Thou foster-child of silence and slow time,

    When old age shall this generation waste,

    Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe


    Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st,

    "Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all

    Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."

    Wow that is a lovely coin. You quoted my favorite poem by Keats.

    @scarborough, your coin strikes me as being of the finest style for these, carved by a highly skilled person!
    Congratulations!

    I agree. That is a fine specimen. The type with horse 'ready to roll' also comes in smaller silver and bronze versions.
