FEATURED WEB SITE
This week's featured web site is suggested by David Menchell.
He writes: "Just wanted to make you aware of an interesting
website. The National Maritime Museum in London has a
variety of items dealing with England's legacy as a naval, military
and commercial power. They have a range of material, including
documents, artwork, and maritime artifacts. Of particular interest
to numismatists is a collection of roughly 3000 coins and medals.
Each item has a web page devoted to it, with extensive
descriptions, historical information, and excellent obverse and
reverse images. You can set up personal "galleries" to include
only those items of particular interest. Pictures of each coin or
medal can be ordered online. I was impressed with some of the
Betts items listed, including some early and rare Dutch Caribbean
medals, two (!) medals commemorating Sir Francis Drake's
circumnavigation of the earth ca. 1589., and a large number of
other victory and peace medals."
