For those wondering about the illustration of Penelope obscura that appears as the first image in the text of this post:

Dark guan (Penelope obscura), also known as dusky-legged guan, was depicted by Henrik Grønvold (Sep. 6, 1858-March 23, 1940), a Danish artist, naturalist and taxidermist. His specialty in natural history was ornithological illustration.

Grønvold's depiction of the avian coffee enthusiast appeared as Plate 6 in Illustrations of the Game Birds and Water Fowl of South America (1917).

The collection of plates was published as the second volume of The Birds of South America. The first volume, comprising the text in the series, was published in 1912 and was co-authored by Lord Brabourne and Charles Chubb.

Lord Brabourne, a British peer, ornithologist and captain in the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, was Wyndham Wentworth Knatchbull-Hugessen, 3rd Baron Brabourne (Sep. 21, 1885-March 11, 1915).

Charles Chubb (Dec. 31, 1851-June 25, 1924) was a British ornithologist in the Zoological Department of the British Museum.

I believe it is allowed. Generally, the sitting monarch is alone on one side of a coin, but there may be exceptions. In Canada there are with historical tribute to the penny. Some have the monarch who was on pennies when a design was in use. Considering the mint was authorized by William the Conqueror I suspect the tradition must have evolved. As a note, even though the mint was authorized it did not start for years. So, there is a mint still operating that is older, the French Monnie de Paris.

It's interesting that the afore-wizzleyed coin invokes Queens Elizabeth II and Victoria even as the poem The faerie queen is for Queen Elizabeth I.

Is there a protocol about not including two monarchs on a coin side?

Otherwise, Queen Elizabeth I might have manifested with the Queen Elizabeth II or the Queen Victoria or both sides!

Your comment four boxes below, on July 17, 2021, particularly catches my attention every time I re-visit this wizzley.

The afore-mentioned comment is helpful, informative and interesting, the latter particularly because of the number of personal and special-day celebrations.

What might you all do when a personal day, such as anniversary or birthday, occurs on the same day as a special-day celebration?

Would you observe both at the same time on the same day or would you observe one earlier, the other later that day?
