Ok reflecting back on the . I loved it! It was a good challenge both choosing countries / coins & getting it all written. My first thought was to make the posts shorter.... but they didn't end up any shorter, which I take as my own inability to compromise on information - & how fascinating everything is! One I learnt a lot writing was the Roman Denarius Fouree: https://coinofnote.com/19-b-c-rome-augustus-denarius-fouree/

Part 2 of my reflection. I love the personal connection you find with & the community. I wrote most of the posts in the weeks prior to the . This was fortuitous as my mother passed away early in April. But those connections made it a joy to re-read each post & share it. Today's is from day "D", , & a park open when my ancesters lived there: https://coinofnote.com/25-ore-token-denmark-dyrehavsbakken/
