Wind Chill Short Cross

[robfinds]

Man that was cold !!!!. Forecast was for just above freezing, but the wind made it feel like minus 20. Another short cross coin though was recovered from the cold soil, where it had been waiting for around 800 years, to once again feel the palm of an hand. The coin was minted by the moneyer Willelm in London. The king could be either Henry 11 (1180-9), Richard (1189-99) or John (1199-1216) Willelm minted coins for all of these kings, but not Henry 111 . The entire short cross issue which covered the reigns of Henry 11, Richard 1, John and Henry 111, had the same obverse legend of hENRICVS. There are no English coins with the name Richard or John. Going out now for even more punishment, Christmas shopping with the wife.

Robert.

Congratulations ! Very nice to be the first in 800 years to hold that silver - now onto a good single malt I should think ,
and a fire place !

Single malt is not for me Argentium. Once went on a tour of the Bushmills distillery in Northern Island, the tour was great. The whiskey though practically stripped the the skin from my mouth !!!. An acquired taste, that I have yet to acquire

Bushmills is an Irish whiskey - "therein lyeth the rub " my friend, the "single malt " of which I referred , would be of Scottish manufacture ,
and , an entirely different breed of cat (to mix the metaphor to the breaking point )

A little Irish coffee with Jameson. If you really want to warm up and put some hair on your chest use Redbreast. Not for the faint of heart but if your Irish like me you can handle it :-)

Funny that's what the Irish said about Scottish whiskey . Being English I'm probably not qualified to comment.
