Here is a fun one, or at least one with more effort put into it than your average coin. @MAJ1 lamented that his coins were unremarkable, and it prompted me to pull this one out. What you see everyday which may seem unremarkable, might be wondrous and new to someone else, so here's a new take on an old threepence from #Britain / #UK: https://coinofnote.com/1936-uk-painted-threepence/

Current thinking is ancient statues were painted in bright colours that faded away, but we're so used to seeing them blank that it seems weird to see the reconstructed originals.
