LEGEND: Legend: This page will evolve. Pictures may change over time. In the
era before the camera, the only instance in which an artist could have
an authentic “likeness” of a amonarch was during a live sitting. For the
many dozens of mints away from the residence of the monarch, 
particularly in other countries, coin-makers could not see the subject. 

I believe, then, that coins minted had to reflect the maker’s fairly pure 
imagination of the look of a monarch. WHAT’S AUTHENTIC: There 
have always been and will always be many forgeries. We can’t judge 
but can guess no one will be forging a monarch to look black so if 
you have such a coin I assume it is more authentic than not.

I believe the most reliable medium to reflect the actual appearance 
of a monarch would be the live sitting and at an event like a 
coronation, wedding, or burial statue. 

 As earlier Shaddam selected lineages of monarchs from the
family of Charles IV showing them as white, I am trying to show 
the black / African / Negro lineage of monarchs over the generations 
showing them as black. Black descendents should come from
black parents. Bryan Sykes The Seven Daughters of Eve
reports that there are over 140 mtDNA lines from Africa. 140
distinct “looks.”
   
I will be looking for those coins reflecting such characteristics 
such as the button or rounded nose-tip [A, C, F], perhaps wide 
nostrils [C, H], full lips, that one is prognathous [G], woolly or
wiry hair (even monarchs often used wigs hiding their real
hair [D, E, F, G], paleoneolithic@yahoo.com
