<p>[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 344109, member: 12965"]You need to remember how rulers thought of themselves back then (more than 1000 years ago). They ruled the people and the people had to serve/worship their ruler (remember the Romans). So with that, would a egotistical ruler have his likeness only once on the coin and someone else's twice or his likeness twice and someone else's once? Anotherwords, would that egotistical ruler place himself below anyone else? Nope! They were not only ruler but GOD and there was no one above them. So, the person depicted twice on the coin, was the ruler and the other person was beneath them (aka: next in line to the throne).</p><p> </p><p>Second, the staff.
