Another Clue for Sherlock Sandy

 I got some mail the other week... it's from England!! Which means it's likely from Beanie Mouse...


But... strangely there is no return address and, even more strange... no Found-Art stamp telling us what # of card this is...

Beary strange...

and inside is a super cool card made out of... something...

Some sort of textured material... faux leather maybe?? 

Normally Beanie's creations have numbers on them but...

There is nothing on the back of the card either!!

Beanie! What and how was this card made?? Inquiring minds want to know...

A nice card... excellent... Did you know I get more cards than my human?? It's true...

And inside the card, another post card with...

Another Mystery of the Missing Bullion clue! Let's see...

A circular coin of double metallic
The highest denomination of UK numesmatic
A playwright connected to a spherical theatre
He's considered superior by literary arbiter
Name the coin... and playwirght?!

Well... let's see... so the coin is likely silver and gold (not real silver and gold)... and possibly a £1 or £2 coin (I've never seen one of those!)... the theatre... hmmm... likely The Globe in London and... it must be William Shakespeare! Let's see if I am right...

Ah hah!!! Observe... there are 3 Shakespeare £2 coins minted in 2016... one with a court jester hat, one with Yorick's skull (from Hamlet) and one with a sword through a crown. Cool!!!

    1. Oh - and I think we used a wallpaper sample for the card, with a linoprint on top..... I think. Or it might've been a piece of funky paper for giftwrap.....

  2. I got the playwright but didn't know anything about the coin. Nice job Moriarty Beanie and Sherlock Sandy

  3. Did you ever figure out a good way of displaying your bullion? Or is it all going in your Piratey Treasure Chest?

    1. Right now, it's all going in the piratey tankard (no treasure chest)...
