[QUOTE="Roerbakmix, post: 3720298, member: 100731"]So with only 67 days to go for the International Hat Day on November 25th ([URL='http://uncustomary.org/international-hat-day/']which is a thing apparently[/URL]), it's time for an Ancient Headgear themed thread. So, silly hats, ludicrous crowns, over-the-top tiara's, over-sized helmets, etc.: if you got them, post them! To avoid just dry, factual coin-posting, there are two rules: 1. One coin per post, without a too technical description (i.e. provenance, weight, catalogi etc. may be mentioned, but avoid long sum-ups) 2. Silly headgear should be silly indeed. To start the thread, here is a coin of Aethelred II (966-1016) wearing a diadem that looks like a funky punk-style diadem. [ATTACH=full]997229[/ATTACH] Denomination: Penny, minted: England, Winchester, Moneyer: Ælfsige; 978-1017 Obs: +AEDELRAED REX ANGL. Head of Aethelred II, draped, to the left. Rev: +AELFSIGE MO PINT. Voided Long cross without inner circle.
