Uh, I believe that image is allegorical and refers to her execution (the rock has the date of her execution on it).

 

 

In that case a falcon biting the head off of a dove is quite fitting don't you think? Got to love those witty artists lol. :ninja:

First does anyone know if the "J" to the left of the bust is a mintmark? If so, which mint? My wife apparently decided my beat-up old Krause sitting next to my desk was there to be thrown away... :ninja:

 

Kind of a shame there's no good way to clean something like this. Even in bad shape it's a tough coin. The guy on eBay didn't say so but I'd guess a coin detector find.

I removed the dollar that was posted here because it went to a new home and I felt it's new owner should be able to post their own pics! :ninja:

My 2 1/2 year old grandson took this coin walk-about earlier today after it arrived. He's added bringing me all the coins he can find to his list of jobs. Unfortunately all coins apparently need to travel around the house before being brought to Poppie. I'm going to have to watch my desk more closely, at least I was able to find this one... :ninja:

1801-10 The Sovereigns of Europe, Great Britain

BHM 704 #5

Part of a box set produced at some point in the decade 1801-1810. Oddly enough no amount of research or references can narrow its production date more than that.
