By the end of the empire, coins were issued in silver and bronze only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarly Byzantine coins are familiar to those who are used to Roman Empire coins. On the obverse, or front, is the bust of the Emperor, with one significant change. Now, the Emperor is portrayed full face rather than in profile. On the reverse, or back, of Byzantine coins is usually a Christian symbol. Crosses and angels (based on the winged Roman goddess Victory) were often used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the rule of Emperor Justinian II (685–695), Byzantine coins were becoming more distinctly “Byzantine” in both art and symbolism. Justinian was the first to picture Jesus Christ on the obverse of his coinage, with a half, or full-length depiction of the Emperor on the reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the centuries, Byzantine coins were a staple of trade throughout Europe and the Orient. These coins are found throughout Europe, the Middle East, the Orient and North Africa to this day.

Roman Emperors had their birth name, their successive titling, as they rose through the ranks from military to political, until finally becoming emperor.  And, remember, Marcus Aurelius was \"adopted\" by his predecessor, Antoninus Pius (an Emperor could choose someone to succeed him from outside his immediate family, \"adopting\" him as heir apparent).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, Marcus Aurelius as we know him today, was successively:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarcus Annius Catilius Severus at birth, Marcus Annius Verus in 124 AD, Marcus Aelius Aurelius Verus Caesar in 138 AD, and, when he became emperor in 161 AD, his official regnal name was Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, the Antoninus you often see on Aurelius' coins is part of his official regnal name.

Charles III (who struck this coin) wanted to support the American colonists in hopes of upsetting British power so that Spain might regain some of its property, including Florida. But he also didn’t want to send a message to his own colonies to revolt, as well as making his treasure galleons a target for the lethal Royal Navy. He initially supported the “rebels” by providing finances, weapons (some smuggled through Louisiana), and bases for their privateers (pirates sailing under a letter of marque) attacking British shipping. But he didn’t recognize them diplomatically. By 1779 this balancing act was too difficult to maintain, and once the treasure galleons were safely in Cadiz, he joined France in helping America gain its independence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth Spain’s and France’s support for the American rebels was crucial to the defeat of General Charles Cornwallis at Yorktown. Wealthy Spanish merchants in Havana, Cuba, loaned about 500,000 pieces of 8 to Admiral François-Joseph Paul, marquis de Grasse Tilly, comte de Grasse so he could pay for supplies and the French and Continental troops lead by George Washington marching to attack Yorktown. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" color=\"#990000\"\u003eCornwallis, and British 7,000 troops surrendered at Yorktown on October 19, 1781.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #990000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eThe 14 page, full color, photo Certificate of Authenticity that accompanies this coin took Robert many months to research and write.

On May 2nd, Spanish citizens rose up in a bloody revolt, but were quickly overwhelmed by France's elite Imperial Guard.
