I intended to write up the #MysteryCoin and the #newsletter tonight.... (Do subscribe! coinofnote.com/newsletter/ ) - but then I decided to write up this #coin issued under the late Pope #Francis: coinofnote.com/2014-vatican-50

An interesting coin, the only standard circulating coin featuring the image of Pope Francis.

And a bit of a look at his life too. He was a good, & humble #Pope.

More #AmWriting for me tomorrow!

Vale Pope Francis. vaticannews.va/en.html

This medallion of Francis embracing his predecessor, Benedict XVI makes me ponder if the two Popes are meeting again in this way up in heaven now.

The Holy See has entered "Sede Vacante" - the time between Popes. This coin from the September 1978 Sede Vacante before Pope John Paul II was elected. More on this piece: coinofnote.com/1978-vatican-50

It's the #DayOfZeus / Jupiter's Day / Thorsday! ⚡

"Upon the altar of Zeus Polieus [Urban Zeus] they place barley mixed with wheat and leave it unguarded. The ox, which they keep already prepared for sacrifice, goes to the altar and partakes of the grain. One of the priests they call the ox-slayer."
