Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 101

A commemorative crown, minted in 1965 to mark Churchill’s death, given to me by my Grandmother.

It’s actually a fairly plain nickel job rather than some of the silver-heavy ones that my Dad has collected over the years, but under the lamp on my desk – and at a high shutter speed – it took on this lovely brassy tone. Shame I couldn’t get my fingers out of shot.
