Did you know? 👑 Numismatic Tradition: A Glimpse into Royal Portraiture 👑 The direction in which the effigy of a reigning monarch faces on coins often holds historical significance. 👉 For instance, the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III faces left, a departure from the right-facing Queen Elizabeth II. This tradition, however, took an interesting turn between King George V and King George VI, as both of their effigies faced left instead of the expected alternation. 🌍 Exploring this tradition further, a unique exception occurred with Edward VIII. Despite abdicating the throne before his effigy graced Canadian coinage, his portrait would likely have faced right, deviating from the left-facing norm. A numismatic twist in the tale! 🤔 What other intriguing traditions and stories have you come across in the world of coins and currency?

A detailed look at the new King Charles banknotes from the Bank of England. Cash is far from going away. Propositions such as Kasssh are opening up new cash options for consumers alongside card payments. Also, helping online merchants attract new customer segments that may previously have avoided using a card. Very smart. Whatever size your business is, cash is still a significant part of many firms' payment options. 🌍 Although, when I last visited Europe I did see a lot more contactkess card use than cash versus the UK. Do you think the UK will go the same way or will they be printing wheel barrow loads of these new notes for some time to come? Hopefully, they will drop a few wheelbarrows off at my house. 🤣 #business #businessintelligence #cash #payments

The Strategic Foresight of Queen Elizabeth I: A Study in Impulse Control Queen Elizabeth I of England faced numerous challenges during her reign, including threats from foreign powers and internal dissent. Her ability to think strategically was key to her success as a ruler. One notable example is her decision to support the Dutch Revolt against Spain. Rather than acting impulsively, Elizabeth carefully considered the long-term implications of her actions, deciding to provide support only when she believed it would be most effective. Elizabeth's strategic foresight allowed her to navigate the complex political landscape of the time, ensuring England's stability and prosperity. For professionals, her leadership offers valuable lessons in the importance of self-discipline and the careful consideration of long-term consequences in decision-making. #QueenElizabethI #ImpulseControl #StrategicForesight #Leadership #History The Downfall of Impulsiveness: Lessons from King Louis XVI The reign of King Louis XVI of France serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of impulsive decision-making. Louis XVI's inability to control his impulses, particularly in the face of financial crises and popular unrest, contributed to the French Revolution and his downfall. One of his most significant impulsive decisions was the attempted escape from Paris, which was poorly planned and executed. This act further alienated the king from his subjects and hastened the revolution. The failure of Louis XVI to exercise impulse control and strategic thinking highlights the importance of self-discipline in leadership. For modern professionals, this historical example underscores the dangers of impulse. https://buff.ly/3XdeEI2

Queen Elizabeth II: The Unseen Journey and Controversial Legacy Queen Elizabeth II's reign was marked by significant milestones, but her journey was far from the fairytale often portrayed. The recently released documentary Elizabeth: The Unseen Queen reveals rare, private footage from her early life and reign, showcasing moments never before seen by the public. However, beneath the surface of her historic reign lies a web of controversy that has sparked intense debate. One of the most controversial aspects of her rule involves the brutal response to anti-colonial movements during the decolonization of the British Empire. While she played a ceremonial role, the British military's actions in places like Kenya, where thousands were detained and tortured during the Mau Mau uprising, have cast a long shadow over her legacy. Critics argue that although she didn't directly order these actions, her silence and continued celebration of the empire raise difficult questions about her role in these dark chapters of history. This unseen journey and the controversies surrounding her reign add a complex layer to the story of a queen who witnessed—and often quietly influenced—some of the most pivotal moments of the 20th and 21st centuries. #QueenElizabethII #UnseenJourney #BritishEmpire #Colonialism #RoyalFamily Sources: https://loom.ly/LF4iIh8 https://loom.ly/yHz3ObA Keywords: Queen Elizabeth II, unseen journey, British Empire, decolonization, colonialism, Mau Mau uprising, royal family, controversies, legacy, British monarchy, rare footage, historical documentary, royal influence, public perception, empire history
