Asterism 62 - Coin; Money

is its symbol. Civilization could not be built on mere barter.
Money – a medium of exchange, an expression of value, the accumulation of
wealth – all the mechanisms of commerce. Rulers have always wanted
control over Money (affixing their portrait upon Coins), and have always
wanted more for their aggrandizement. But which is the real source
of power – the ruler, or the Money?
