coins and notes for Vulcan with King spock on them?


Before engraving, I shall need front and sideface views
of King Spock1k
"King" is a bit 19th century, don't you think?
"Overlord" or "Galactic Emperor" sounds more fitting.

I may add a few intriguing designs like the word in the coconut palm leaves here"

Rod-

Your post brings up at least two questions in my mind.

What is the word in the leaf? Or, more accurately, where is the word in the leaf?

Secondly, can you clarify the title of that banknote file? Its an okay-looking boat, as far as schooners go, but not that sexy, to my eyes.

For what its worth, I agree that "king" is a bit 20th century. I always think of spock as an "ambassador" to Earth, from where ever it is that he resides.

Londonbus1,
Yes I am joking about starting a micro nation. I am way to busy to run it. I'll stick to my floundering Local Post and stay out of politics.

The Currency Could have the following on it: Mount Seleya, The Moons of Vulcan, D'Pow, Sarek and of course Spock1.
(By the way Vulcan didn't have money. It was added later as credits.)

After giving Spock's' situation some thought. I have decided I would like to aid him in his quest to be "More Vulcan". The act of collecting little bits of paper is totally illogical! Therefore, I am willing to accept all those little scraps of paper from Him. So, he should send them all to me as soon as possible. (Via transporter is OK)

The list continues:

Republic of Molossia, founded in 1977 as the Grand Republic of Vuldstein, then 1980 is was reformed as the Kingdom of Edelstein then again during the mid 80's it was renamed the Kingdom of Zaria finally becoming Kingdom of Molossia in 1988. During the 90's Molossia fell into political turmoil provisionally becomes a communist state for 3 months before sub-coming to a larger power in United Provinces of Utopia (UPOU) becoming a province of that nation. However, the UPOU would soon collapse & on 2/21/1999 independence was proclaimed as the People's Democratic Republic of Molossia, but by September it reformed as the Republic of Molossia & has remained so ever since.
The Republic has 2 provinces, Harmony (Home Territory), is inside Virginia City, NV. The second province called Desert Homestead is located near Twenty-nine Palms, CA.
The Republic also has coins & paper money, stamps?

Hi Collin,
Can you read the word "sex" behind the queens head?
This is a rather famous banknote I am led to believe.

I found reference to it in the "Australian Stamp News" 1973

and the story

Errors on postage stamps, or controversial designs, have often caused
an unroar, but it is rare for an upset to occur over a banknote design.
But this has occurred in the Seychelles Islands in the Indian Ocean
where considerable fuss has followed the discovery that the 50 rupee
banknote illustrated here has a design that is not all that it appears to
be at first glance. If you turn the illustration sideways you will see
that the palm fronds on the right side spell out the naughty word
SEX. Queen Elizabeth, it is said, was not at all amused by this artistic
joke. The note has a face value of less than S8 Australian but has
virtually vanished from circulation as a result of collectors
scrambling to buy up the note (paying up to $24) for their collections.

Thanks Rod222 for the images.

Also with the Copeman Empire obviously they have a stamp, I'd not seen one nor was one mentioned in the book, but it appears that the Trailer Park Emperor has only one portrait. The image on the stamp is the same as used in the book.

ok I think galactic emperor has a nice ring to it. I am glad I appointed rod as my cic although he does have his moments.

Rod,

did you hear what Rev said he wants us to beam his collection up. you can have half of it beam the whole thing up including the stock book. he thinks those are little pieces of paper. it's his his tribute for the coronation ceremony.
