Great Britain Lighthouse Coin, 2014

This coin was recently issued by the Royal Mint to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Trinity House. Trinity House was granted a Royal Charter by Henry VIII in 1514. One of the functions of the organization is to provide aids to navigation for England, Wales, the Channel Islands and Gibraltar. The coin features a lighthouse lens.

Montenegro Lighthouse Stamps, 6 Jul 2012

These two stamps were issued by Montenegro on 6 Jul 2012 but due to a lack of decent images they are just being posted here now. The first stamp shows Volujica lighthouse which is located near the end of the peninsula to the south of the port of Bar. It currently doesn’t look much like the image on the stamp as it is painted in black and white horizontal bands. It can just be seen to the right of the storage tanks in this photo. The second stamp shows Turski lighthouse which also goes by the name of Rt Turski and is located at the northern entrance of the Verige strait.
