Within it, against a field of finely engraved rays, sits the bust of a bishop in his mitre with a crozier resting at his shoulder, bearded and looking straight out, his name arcing overhead in raised capitals: \u003cstrong\u003eSAINT VALENTINE\u003c\/strong\u003e. Both sides carry the same design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eValentine was martyred at Rome in the third century and buried on the Flaminian Way, and his feast on the fourteenth of February has carried his name into every language as a word for human love. The older devotion asks him for something steadier: he is invoked by engaged couples and for happy marriages, and against epilepsy and fainting.
