A Few Words From Your Pr esident
by Sharon Bower
Greetings, Numismatists!
It is September and Exhibit Night!!!! I?m looking forward to the exhibits that will
be displayed this evening. The Exhibit Night Committee will explain the procedures fortonight's educational presentation and the voting for the best exhibit. Be sure to votefor the best exhibit even if you do not have one at tonight's meeting.To allow ourmembers more time to examine the exhibits, please limit the auction sheets to oneper person. Unlimited sheets will resume at our next meeting in October.
Remember that tonight will be one of your last chances to nominate someone(including yourself) for the slate of officer candidates for next year. You will have up
until our October meeting to present names to the Nomination Committee (Vinton
Dove and Jim Sukup) to be considered. The slate of candidates will be presented atour October meeting, and the election of officers will be conducted in November.
NOW is the time to become more involved with the Club to ensure that it continues asuccessful path into the future. I look forward to seeing you at tonight's meeting alongwith the exhibits that will be on display! Be sure to try to bring along a friend, spouse,
relative, or neighbor to tonight's meeting.

The Portraits of Queen
Elizabeth II... as they appear on World Banknotes
Elizabeth Alexandra Mary of the House of Windsor has been Queen of theUnited Kingdom since 1952, when she succeeded her father, King George VI, to thethrone. Queen Elizabeth II, as the head of the Commonwealth of Nations, is also Headof State to many countries in the Commonwealth. Although She remains Head ofState to many countries, over the years many member nations of the Commonwealthhave adopted constitutions whereby The Queen is no longer Head of State.
Queen Elizabeth's portrait undoubtedly appeared more often on the banknotesof Great Britain's colonies, prior to the colonies gaining independence and the use ofher portrait is not as common as it once was. However, there are a number of nations
who retain her as Head of State and she is still portrayed on the banknotes ofnumerous countries. The Queen has been depicted on the banknotes of thirty-threeissuing authorities, as well as on an essay prepared for Zambia. The countries andissuing authorities that have used portraits of The Queen are (in alphabetical order):-Australia
Bahamas
BelizeBermudaBritish Caribbean Territories
British Honduras
CanadaCayman Islands
CeylonCyprusEast African Currency Board
East Caribbean States
Falkland Islands
FijiGibraltar
Great Britain (Bank of England)

Scotland (Royal Bank of Scotland)
Seychelles
Solomon Islands
Southern Rhodesia
Trinidad and Tobago
Zambia (essay only)

In total, there have been thirty-one portraits used on the various banknotes
bearing the likeness of Queen Elizabeth. This study identifies the thirty-one individual
portraits that have been used and also identifies the numerous varieties of theengravings, which are based on the portraits. The varieties of portraits on thebanknotes are due, in the main, to different engravers, but there are some varieties
due to different photographs from a photographic session being selected by different
printers or issuing authorities.
The links with this commentary identify the thirty-one portraits, thephotographer or artist responsible for the portrait (where possible), and the date theportrait was executed. Portraits used on the banknotes come from one of several
sources. Most are official photographs that are distributed regularly by Buckingham
Palace for use in the media and in public places. Some of the portraits have been
especially commissioned, usually by the issuing authority, although, in the case of thetwo paintings adapted for use on the notes (Portraits 9 and 19), it was not the issuingauthority that commissioned the paintings. In the case of the portraits used by theBank of England, a number of the portraits have been drawn by artists without
specific reference to any single portrait.

Tr easu r er 's Repor t f or Ju ly 2022:

Your treasurer reports as follows: we currently have $25,246.52 in the club checking account.
The only expense for which I wrote a check was $100 for room rental for our upcoming
September meeting. Our budget provides for up to $250 for prizes for Exhibit Night. Donn
Wray is purchasing the prizes, and I will reimburse him when he presents his bill.
I noticed that Coin World recently named Joe Boling as one of the one hundred mostinfluential numismatist in the USA. I think this merit mention in the upcoming edition of thePlanchet.
