NAZI OCCUPIED COIN SET In May 1940 Nazi German troops invaded Belgium. Belgian King Leopold III took command of his army, then surrendered after just two weeks. Though most of the Belgian government, along with that most of the other occupied nations set up governments in exile, Leopold refused to join them.

HISTORIC COINS

A SHORT-LIVED DYNASTY OF THREE SHORT REIGNING ROMAN EMPERORS Carus was appointed prefect of the Pretorian Guard by Emperor Probus in 282. Shortly after that Probus was murdered and Carus was proclaimed Emperor by his troops in August or September of that year. He was 60 at the time. It is unclear if Carus was involved in the murder Probus. He immediately raised his sons Carinus and Numerian to the rank Caesar. His older son, Carinus, was left in charge of the western portion of the Empire, while Numerian accompanied his father on military campaigns. Carus successfully fought the Germanic tribes and Sarmatians along the Danube. He then successfully attacked the Sassanid Empire, but he died in August 283, apparently having been struck by lightening. Carinus and Numerian succeeded their father as co-emperors. Carinus in Rome abandoned himself to all kinds of profligacy and excess. Reportedly, he managed to wed and divorce nine separate women during his short rule. He is reported to have initiated persecution against those he considered to have previously treated him with insufficient respect. The troops in the Sasanid campaign, now under Numerian, were spooked by the unnatural death of Carus, quickly retreated back to Roman territory. Sometime between March and November 284 Numerian died or was murdered. His death was hidden from the troops by his generals until November 284, when they choose Diocletian to be the next emperor. Carinus left Rome at once and set out to battle Diocletian. He died at the Battle of the Margus in July 285 what is now Serbia. Some reports state that Carinus was assassinated by a tribune whose wife he had seduced. Others say that his army deserted him. Either way, it brought and end to the short-lived dynasty. All three coins are billon Aurelianianus (Antoninianus) The coins are certified and graded by NGC and come in NGC slab holders.

ATTRACTIVE LARGE COIN OF CHINA’S NORTHERN SONG DYNASTY The Northern (Pei) Song (Sung) Dynasty came to power in 960AD. China prospered under its wise Emperors. In 1101 Emperor Hui Zong (Hui Tsung) came to power. A cultured man, poet, painter and avid patron of the arts, he spent vast sums collecting art, supporting artists, and building a costly imperial garden. He neglected the affairs of state. The civil service became increasingly corrupt, the army weak, and the treasury bankrupt. The Emperor allied himself with the increasingly powerful Jin (Chin Tarters) of Manchuria to attack and destroy the neighboring Liao Kingdom. The Jin (Chin), then turned against him and succeeded in sacking and destroying the weakened Song Dynasty. Hui Zong was captured, along with most of the Imperial Court, and died in exile in Manchuria. In 1102 Hui Zong began to issue this attractive, large (32 to 35mm) copper 10 Cash coin (some references call it a 5 Cash) using the reign title Chong Ning (Ch'ung Ning). The coins had far less copper than five one cash coins, so brought in substantial extra revenue for the government. As might be expected, this devalued money drove the good money out of circulation which caused a severe coin shortage. The public outcry caused the Emperor to discontinue the coins by 1106AD. It is an attractive coin from a cultured, but inept, Emperor of China.
