Saint Numismia ~ Patron Saint of Coin Collectors

Although Saint Eligius (French c. 588 - 1 December 660) is the patron saint of goldsmiths, other metalworkers and coin collectors I thought it might be fun to create an alternate.  Thanks to Amedeo Modigliani (1884 - 1920) for the use of the lovely Jeanne Hebuterne as my inspiration for Saint Numismia!

    Modigliani would be proud - your coins round his lady off.

    Thanks everyone. I looked at lots of candidates to wear the coin halo but she seemed the most saintly of the lot! : )
