  • The Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang (254-210 BC) is known for his gigantic mausoleum housing the Terracotta Army, near Xi'an. He also introduced the Ban Liang (about 8 grams) coins as China's first unified currency. The round shape with a square hole would survive for two millennia.

  • Amazing style for this Viking coin showing a sailing boat on one side and a deeron the other side.

    The coin is visible at the Viking exposition at the History Museum, Stockholm, described as minted around 825, probably in the Jutland trading post of Ribe.

  • Why are the coat of arms of the duke of Lorraine and Bar shown on this coin from the bishop of Verdun?

    It's actually an imitation of a groschen from the duke Henry II. The bishop of Verdun kept the arms of the duchy for his own coinage, just changing the legend.
