One of the joys of collecting silver coins is learning about the currencies of different nations.  In bullion, the first coins that most people collect are the major government backed silver pieces from different countries–the Eagle, the Maple, the Libertad, and the Britannia (and so many more!).  A great passion of mine has been hunting down the old silver coins that were used as currency in different countries in the past.  So, when I started pouring silver, it was natural that one of the first themes I would settle on, almost unconsciously, was the imagery of nations.  It started with the Rising Sun of Japan (which I reinterpreted as a rising moon!), and was followed by the imagery of my own country with my own take on the US Peace Dollar. And in tribute to my friends over on the Stackers Social discord, most of whom are from the UK, I then created my tribute to Britannia.  There are so many more designs to come in this series, as there are so many more countries for which I have a deep affection.  All of which leads to the question… How does one make a Quokka look majestic?…
