<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tibor, post: 3979897, member: 73385&quot;]During the mid to late Medieval times, it was popular to strike coinage</p><p>that depicted Christ, Saints and other figures. For the most part, they</p><p>were honoring the featured person. This thread was started in the ancient</p><p>forum. I just showed a coin from a much latter period in time. While</p><p>some might consider my Charlemagne piece to be a commemorative,</p><p>it circulated as &quot;spending money&quot; at the time much like our circulating coinage of today, ie. Lincoln cent, Jefferson 5 cent piece, Washington 25 cent piece.</p><p>&nbsp;I have a few others that depict said figures but I&#039;ll save them for another thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
