1. Equally important is public confidence or acceptance of coinage; as coinage is a convention, in the sense that its value is conventionally fixed by the authority of the state with the agreement of the public, it can only function if the value of the coinage, as fixed by the state, is accepted by those who use it; otherwise, market forces will tend to discount overvalued coins towards their individual bullion values.
2. The iconography of a state's coinage viewed over a period of time can reveal a certain amount of information about the aspirations of that state, since the choice of designs will normally reflect the matters considered important by at least an influential body in that state and will present these important matters in a particular way.
3. Few Greek coins bear explicit dates, although some of the eras in use in the Hellenistic period appear on coinage, notably on the coinage of the kings of Syria which are regularly dated by the Seleucid era beginning in 312BC.
4. The reason was that public confidence in the quality of the coinage depended on the retention of an "immobilised", i.e. unchanging, design (see also p. 14 and fig. 9).
5. This approach is very useful, for instance, with the coinage of Alexander mentioned on p. 14.

7. This shows that the gold and silver available to the Roman state was quite inadequate to meet the need for coinage, and that expenditure greatly outstripped income.
8. In an extreme case an authority might decide for economic, political or cultural reasons that it did not wish to make coinage, which may explain the periods mentioned above when various states abandoned coinage.
9. Coinage was a pervasive symbol of the authority responsible for its issue.
10. Perhaps the clearest case is provided by the gold coinage of the Roman empire in the fifth century AD.
11. By performing a study of the dies and establishing a chain or chains or die links, one can arrange a whole coinage into an objective sequence.
12. In such cases there might be different sorts of motivation, such as the prestige which accrued from the production of a large coinage in the state's name or the profit which came to the state from the minting fee.
