Coins

of the Modern Empire

 

 

 

 

The coinage of the modern United European Empire seems to reach back into its Roman legacy, prominently depicting eagle and classical architecture, together with 12 stars. The smaller coinage seems to have a globe on it. (I am not sure I understand the significance of the oaks just yet.)

Along the outside edge of the Two Euro Coin, it states the credo: "EINIGKEIT, UND RECHT UND FREIHEIT". That is: unity and right[eousness] and freedom. These could have been lifted directly out of scripture as the things that Christ Himself has promised the believers. Other than that, I could find no hint of the intermediary, the Holy Roman Empire of Charlemagne and his decendents.
