----- This list is available in illustrated form, and is supplemental to 15 earlier lists sent since 1980 to Central Banks and Mints, to promote the portrayal on money of distinguished women of history, both as an aesthetic end in itself, and as role models for the young women worldwide now entering the modern economy and society. Before 1980 there were only some 25 coins portraying distinguished women: the current list features 200 such portraits. The list does not include living monarchs, but only queens of history. A list of living queens may be found in the author's bimonthly publication " Heads of State & Other Women Leaders throughout the World", the most recent being No 70 of 16 May 2003, with 1166 names. Further information on coins and banknotes may be found on many of the 130 central bank websites, listed by the Bank of International Settlements on www.bis.org/cbanks.htm

# KM refers to coins listed in the 29th, 2002 Krause/Mishler Standard Catalog of World Coins 2016 pp ed Colin R Bruce II, and to subsequent lists in the monthly World Coin News, both published by Krause Publications Iola Wisconsin 54945-5009 USA.
