The gens Licinia was a celebrated plebeian family at Rome, which appears from the earliest days of the Republic until imperial times, and which eventually obtained the imperial dignity. The first of the gens to obtain the consulship was Gaius Licinius Calvus Stolo, who, as tribune of the plebs from 376 to 367 BC, prevented the election of any of the annual magistrates, until the patricians acquiesced to the passage of the lex Licinia Sextia. This law, named for Licinius and his colleague, Lucius Sextius, opened the consulship for the first time to the plebeians. Licinius himself was subsequently elected consul in 364 and 361 BC, and from this time, the Licinii became one of the most illustrious gentes in the Republic. The reverse probably refers to an ancestor of this monetarius, Aulus Licinius Nerva, who defeated the Macedonians in 143-142 B.C. He had only one arm (!).
Aulus Licinius Nerva was appointed by Julius Caesar and member of the monetarii triumviraat ; Aulus Licinius Nerva, Antius Restio and Lucius Plautius Plancus. They were responsible for the coinage during Caesar′s extended stay in the East, which took place in temple of Juno Moneta on the Capitoline Hill.

Willem V, zichzelf noemend Willem Batavus, werd op 8 maart 1748 te ′s Gravenhage geboren als zoon van erfstadhouder Willem IV en Anna van Hannover. Toen hij 3 jaar oud was overleed zijn vader in 1751. Willem Batavus volgde hem op als stadhouder, onder regentschap en opvoeding van zijn moeder en Douwe Sirtema van Grovenstins en vanaf 1759 door de ″dikke″ hertog Lodewijk Ernst van Bunswijk-Wolfenbüttel. Op 8 maart 1766, meerderjarig verklaard, trad hij aan als regerend stadhouder. Ter gelegenheid van de inhuldiging, werd deze zilveren penning vervaardigd. De tien jaar oude Mozart was uitgenodigd en componeerde een quodlibet Gallimathias musicum (KV 32) dat op 11 maart werd uitgevoerd. Op 4 oktober 1767 huwde de prins in Berlijn met Wilhelmina van Pruisen, een nicht van Frederik de Grote, die in 1768 de stadhouderlijke familie bezocht op Het Loo. Met de komst van de Fransen in 1795, kwam een einde aan het stadhouderschap van Willem V (1751-1795).

LYDIA, THE KAYSTRIANOI - AE 12, 2nd/1st century BC
weight 2,80gr. ; bronze Ø 12mm.
obv. Laurated head of Apollo right
rev. Lion skin draped over club KAYSTPIANΩN, monogram in lower left and right field
The inhabitants of the middle and lower Kaystros valley were called Kaystrianoi, and of the upper valley Kilbianoi.
The Kaystros River, today Küçük Menderes, flows westward between the ranges of Mount Tmolos and Mount Messogis through “wide, thickly settled and productive” plains (Strabo 13.4.13), which were inhabited by the tribes of the Kilbianoi in the east and the Kaystrianoi in the west. Both had their own coinage in Hellenistic times. Ephesos was located on the mouth of the Kaystros river. The plains were first mentioned by Homer, Ilias 2.461. There was no actual town of this name. Stylistically the coin has much resemblance with the coinage of Sardes, in particular the coin type with the Apollo head on the obverse and the club on the reverse (cf. BMC 10-21).
