This coin seems to refer to Tiberius′ military successes. Tiberius was a brilliant military commander who expanded the empire and provided it with a defensible border with his younger brother Drusus and nephew Germanicus. The artist took considerable pains to render the form and decoration of the currus triumphalis. The car itself is of the ″slow″ type, which is a high, cylindrical shell with straight side edges. From the left we see a trophy consisting of a suit of armor on a pole, crowned with a helmet and hung on either side with an oval shield, followed by a winged Victory and again a trophee. Below, above the wheel, a bust of a barbarian is shown. It probably refers to Tiberius′ successes between 16-7 BC in the Danube area and his triumph of 6-9 AD. The German Marcomanni confederation had established a strong kingdom in modern Bohemia. Tiberius and another Roman general launched a two-pronged attack that devastated the Marcomanni. In 6 AD, Tiberius was called away from the Danube to prevent a German breakthrough after the Roman defeat at Teutoberg Forest. He accomplished this mission and was then called back to the Danube frontier. The Great Illyrian Revolt of 6-9 AD saw all the tribes in the western Balkans rise in rebellion. This was one of the greatest revolts against Rome in the history of the Empire, and the rebels could muster an army of 100.000 men. Tiberius and his nephew Germanicus eventually suppressed the rebellion, which earned them both Augustus and Rome′s gratitude. Tiberius was a great commander, and historians have neglected his accomplishments. He annexed two new provinces, established a frontier on the Danube that was not penetrated by invaders for almost two centuries. Tiberius′ greatest military achievement was his role in the suppression of the Great Illyrian Revolt.

This type is commonly referred to as the ″Tribute Penny″ of the bible after the well-known New Testament story in St.Matthew′s Gospel (22,17-21). The tribute penny was the coin that was shown to Jesus when he made his famous speech ″Render unto Caesar...″ The phrase comes from the King James Version of the gospel account: Jesus is asked, ″Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?″ (Mark 12:14) and he replies, ″bring me a penny, that I may see it″ (Mark 12:15).The Greek text uses the word dēnarion, and it is usually thought that the coin was a Roman denarius with the head of Tiberius. The inscription reads ″Ti[berivs] Caesar Divi Avg[vsti] F[ilivs] Avgvstvs″(″Caesar Augustus Tiberius, son of the Divine Augustus″), claiming that Augustus was a god. The reverse shows a seated female, usually identified as Livia depicted as Pax.

De Rooms-Duitse Keizer Frederik Barbarossa geeft in de twaalfde eeuw opdracht om de Nijmeegse Palts te herstellen en om te bouwen tot een echte versterkte burcht. Baksteen was nog niet beschikbaar; de burcht werd helemaal uit tufsteen opgetrokken, aangevoerd via Rijn en Waal uit de Duitse Eifel. Uit een bewaarde gedenksteen blijkt dat het werk in het jaar 1155 voltooid moet zijn. Middelpunt van de Barbarossa-burcht vormde wel de Donjon, later ook Reuzentoren genoemd. Deze toren was een massief bouwwerk, zonder ramen en deuren op de begane grond en eerste verdiepingen en dus ideaal voor de verdediging tijdens een belegering. Er was altijd genoeg proviand opgeslagen en zeer waarschijnlijk was er een waterput. Het is in deze tijd dat er te Nijmegen ook keizerlijke muntslag heeft plaatsgevonden, waarvan deze munt een voorbeeld is.

De palmtak wordt in deze periode vaak afgebeeld op munten van heersers die hebben deelgenomen aan een kruistocht. Omdat Frederik pas in 1189 met zijn leger vertrok, kan dit in dit geval niet de betekenis zijn. Immers, de munt moet ruimschoots voor 1190 zijn geslagen en van een voltooide kruistocht door Frederik was helemaal geen sprake. De Christelijke symboliek van de palmtak zal in dit geval dus wat algemener zijn; een verwijzing naar vrede en overwinning.

Franconia (German: Franken) was located in northern Bavaria. The Ansbach family rule began with Friedrich VI of Hohenzollern, burgrave of Nuremberg, who because elector Friedrich I of Brandenburg (1415-1440). The Franconian margraves call themselves ″Margraves of Brandenburg″ although they only rule in Franconia. What is remarkable is this extensive joint coinage, which extends from 1537 to 1545, two years after George′s death. For the year 1538 alone 42 stamps can be identified. Georg won the silver by confiscating the secularized monastery property and minting the monastery treasures. The Ansbach family died out in 1603.

The dies of this masterpiece is made by the artist diecutter Aristoxenos. The influence of the Syracusan tetradrachms as per Tudeer 48 and 51 is evident in this coin. The outstanding quality of his work is a signature in itself, but we can also see (parts) of his signature APIΣTO on the neck tranche.

Another remarkability, typical for Aristoxenos, are the dotted letters ETA in META. Why the M is  liniair and the letters ETA are dotted can probably only answered by Aristoxenos.The dies signed by Aristoxenos are among the finest in the whole Metapontine series; his work is also known at Heraklea and must date from circa 375 BC. Extremely rare.

This coin is minted in a transition period, between the incuse coinage and the beginning of the series with heads of deities on the obverse which then became characteristic of Metapontion. On the obverse we still see the usual ear of barley, but the reverse now depicts the elegant figure of a nude Apollo. Although this cointype is numerous presented in museal collections, we do not see it often offered, certainly not in this wonderful state of preservation. Very rare.
