The British Royal Mint pays tribute to the computer visionary Ada Lovelace. 

A visionary of the computer age, Ada Lovelace was a critical thinker truly ahead of her time. While Charles Babbage is often referred to as the "father of computing" for his work on the analytical machine, Lovelace played a key role in interpreting and publicising the machine, prophesying that it could manipulate more than numbers, the foundations of modern computing. By providing detailed notes, calculations and data on Babbage's machine, Lovelace proved prescient in his vision of the capabilities of computer technology. Meanwhile, her advanced numerical work and algorithmic thinking earned her the nickname "the enchantress of numbers" from Babbage himself.
