All great guesses! The next clue was going to be that English was not her third language nor her fourth because she never spoke English at all!!!!
Hondo Boguss wins the proofs with Boudicca, the great British heroine who led her Iceni people in a revolt against the Romans and who spoke the Celtic language of the day!!!

 Thank you, Captain Mandrake! Boudicca was a fierce warrior queen, and her story is fascinating. I'm surprised that the UK has never honored her on a coin.

These beauties arrived today and they are absolutely gorgeous! I hope that my pics do them justice. Thank you again, Captain Mandrake, for gifting me these fantastic coins! In my opinion, The Royal Mint's coins far surpass those of the US Mint. UK 1 Penny 2024  UK 2 Pence 2024  UK 5 Pence 2024  UK 10 Pence 2024  UK 50 Pence 2024  UK 1 Pound 2024  UK 2 Pounds 2024  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
