New Coins

Cranmer has a post about the new British coins

I quite like them but it seems I have not taken on board the relevance.

It is a creation of postmodernity, which evidences a willingness to combine symbols from disparate codes or frameworks of meaning, even at the cost of disjunctions and eclecticism. It embraces spontaneity, fragmentation, superficiality and irony. And it is ironic, if not purposely prophetic, that each of these new designs is meaningless in isolation: the Royal Arms has been carved-up, sliced and diced, fragmented and fractured.
