There is just a hint of a smile in the portrait on the coin. I couldn't resist adding that last pixel.#5: jewel crown (jewel) on Oct 26, 2011

Hey Teresa! Great puzzle! Being a former Catholic, at first, I thought it was going to have something to do with the Blessed Mother! LOL! I wasn't born Catholic though, so my knowledge of Latin is somewhat limited! Thx 4 your creative!
