2014 $1 Romance PNC

Matters of the heart evoke a rich metaphorical language, which in many ways reflects the fine choreography that distinguishes courtship and love. The heart-shaped motif is a shortcut to emotional life, although the “love” it symbolises is not necessarily romantic in nature. Yet, romance looms large in the heart-shaped motif, first used to symbolise love in a 13th-century manuscript, making it perfect for sending a message of affection.
