<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8178262, member: 110350&quot;]If I can get one more in under the wire, in time for you to see it, here&#039;s perhaps my favorite depiction of a ship, even though it&#039;s not on an ancient coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>Great Britain 1815 (struck 1820), Surrender of Napoleon. Obv. Bust of Napoleon right, uniformed; NAPOLEON BONAPARTE; signature below / Rev. British man of war Bellerophon, in full sail, with Imperial Eagle on flag staff; Napoleon stands on quarterdeck with right hand inside coat; another ship beyond; SURRENDERED TO H.B.M.S. BELLEROPHON CAPT. MAITLAND. Exergue: XV JULY. MDCCCXV; signatures below. By T. Webb/N.G.A Brenet. AR 41 mm., 38.8 g. Eimer 1078, Mudie 37, BHM 884, Bramsen 1691. <i>Ex. Spink Auction 136, Oct. 7, 1999, Lot 992.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/napoleon-bellerephon-mudie-37-obv-2-jpg.1113063/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/napoleon-bellerephon-mudie-37-rev-1-jpg.1113065/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>I imagine that ships have changed a bit since then, and you won&#039;t have to learn things like the names and functions of every single rope and sail![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
